Can Lack Of Proteins And Nutrients Mask Urine In A Drug Test?
I have a job interview coming up that will ultimately have me take a drug test. I do not take drugs, but I have not been eating normally for about 3 months. I have a severe loss of appetite due to stress. My question is, can the lack of proteins and other nutrients make them think that I am trying to dilute or mask my urine for the drug test?

Dear friend, Greetings from HCM... i understand your problems.... as you told the lack of nutrients / proteins will never affect any drug from excreted in urine ... each drug has its own metabolite after getting detoxified in liver it will be excreted in urine ... that particular metabolite will be detected during the drug test ... but as yourself noticed it is not good to be stressed .. please take nutritious food be healthy all the best for your interview ... thank you
