It's usually worked out from a combination of fecal, skin, sweat, hair and nail losses - although i'm not sure how they measure the nitrogen - probably with some sort of indicator or isotope? (that's what they're called right? or am i getting mixed up with the things on maps? or do they share the same name? Answers on a postcard to....)
You also need to know how much nitrogen (protein) is going in.
Usually, it also depends on calorie intake.
Here's a quick Lyle McDonald quote about that:
Now a question for you - why do you care?An individual who is fasting will lose more nitrogen than someone who is eating carbohydrates but is on a zero protein diet. Finally, individuals who consume very high protein intakes will also excrete more nitrogen

Postitive nitrogen balance- how to tell?
Is there any counterpart to the KetoStix to be able to tell when your in + nitrogen balance?
Or does this require blood work or something similar?

Why? For muscles of course. But also if it were easily measured, I could drop calories until it hurt me, to lose some bad weight.
