    Excessive protein intake exceeds the body's needs, and the body will break it down into carbohydrates for energy. The decomposition process will produce ammonia, that is, urine smell, which is excreted from the body through the mouth; while some people cannot fully decompose high protein or some specific proteins in the body, it will produce a smell like rotten fish meat.
