Not the diet: It is not likely that the diet is causing the changes in urine color, unless it's a fixed diet. Any reason to believe you got dehydrated? What do you do for fun? Any possible intense exercise lately? Taking any new supplements? Have you ever passed a kidney stone? Any other symptoms, burning, abdominal pain, fever?
