You sure it's not more of a bleach smell? That means your body is burning muscle instead of fat.

It’s probably nutritional. Maybe a lot of onion or garlic or something.

Are you experiencing memory loss? Strong likely hood it’s HIIT related.

I get that when I'm training hard over a period of time. Someone told me it was from burning muscle instead of carbs/fat, but I never really cared enough to research it.
