Helpful info! Definitely smell that after a hard workout - mistakenly thought that meant I was in ketosis!

[@BreakawayB]

Admittedly, I need to research ketosis more before I can speak with 100% confidence, but I believe the body is breaking down fat for energy during ketosis, not muscle. So, I’m glad you learned something, Eric, thanks so much for watching!

If you eat entire chicken with 2scoop protein. Good chance your body will use the extra protein for energy and it will not be muscle getting breaking down

This is some big brain information!

Thank you for an awesome and informative video that got to the point! Now for a video on recommended preworkout meals

[@BreakawayB]

That's a great idea, and thank you for the kind words.

Good video... Im past 50 and started doing ufc gym workouts. My wife said my workout clothes smelled like piss... I also noticed it. Should i just consume more water prior to workout? Also, it is a tough workout, and I sweat way much more than i used to 3-5 years ago.

You should probably be eating and drinking more food/liquid ALL THE TIME, not only immediately prior to your hard workouts. (As always: I am not a dietician, and I have no idea of the other factors in your life. This is only general principles).

I don't know if I smell it in my sweat, but I can definitely smell it in my nostrils. I remember back then in 2010, I would eat first (I don't remember what I ate) but I would smell it in my nostrils after my workout(did cardio first like biking or elliptical for 30 mins then on to weights). It still happens now when I do cardio(walking for 50 mins). I normally exercise fasted but yesterday, I ate first(3 lrg eggs-scrambled, 2 chicken sausage patties and a hash brown patty) and I only did weights but by the time I was done, I smelled the ammonia smell in my nostrils just slightly.

You’ve “been there before?” Lol

Is that cat pee smell? I smelled that in the field at AIT .

[@BreakawayB]

Makes a lot of sense, actually, especially since you were in the field (likely without proper fueling/timing).
