Tomas has taken up bodybuilding and is starting to become more interested in a diet to improve athletic performance. he read an article in a bodybuilding magazine that said he should dramatically increase his dietary protein intake. what happens to excessive dietary protein intake?
Often when people consume excess protein, the ammonia formed as a by-product of protein metabolism cannot be eliminated through urine. So it is lost in sweat. If your sweat has an ammonia odor, your protein intake may be higher than your body needs.
