Let's say you had a 300 pounder run a 5 miles (with divine assistance.) and a 150 lb guy with 8% bf run the same distance in the same temp. Fatty will sweat more , but is the composition of is his sweat different, like did he sweat out more bad stuff and the normal guy sweat out more water?


Let's say normal guy is normal hydrated and flyinshamu is dehydrated does that change the picture?
 
Large individuals tend to sweat more because 1) they have fewer exercise adaptations to improve temperature regulation and 2) they have more fat to insulate the body, inherently increasing temperature. The content of sweat will vary with every individual - it's not dependent on weight.
 
Well, considering the 300lb dude isn't human anymore, he's a disgusting pig, I'm guessing he's gonna sweat differently. Probably pig sweat.

Seriously, what kind of pathetic individual would let themselves become that fat?
 
Not in sweat, no. The skin naturally secretes oils to keep it moisturized, though, and that mixes a bit with the sweat. I don't know how that varies with weight, but sweat is just water and salts.

Theres tons of them all over the place. The above post and the fact you havent had the balls to ask them yourself tells me you are an internet tough guy and thats all you'll ever be.

As for the OP's issue: I know people talk about sweating out different things but in reality your glands pretty much only secrete moisture. Your chemistry has to be way off before you start putting out anything else. I know some folks with really bad diets who start to change over to good stuff will briefly give off a strange aroma. But that corrects itself once they are on healthy food completely (like me starting back on green vegetables).
You have to remember sweat doesnt stink. Its the germs on your skin fermenting and boiling that stink. So really when you smell someone after a hard workout, you are smelling more of their house and bed than their own body.
Also I drink a gallon a day thanks to my kidney stones so I probably sweat a lot even when I'm not doing anything special.

Welcome to AT H&F, where individuals < 200 lbs are dangerously skinny, and those > 300 lbs are inhuman.

Oh, and everyone must lift weights and build strength!
