I'd go with the dehydration theory myself. I'm sure you were remembering to drink, it's just that, IIRC from my biochemist days (could be wrong, it's been a long while), while it takes ONE molecule of water to digest each monosaccharide (carb building blocks),it take TWO of them to do the same for an amino acid (protein building blocks).
So if you're eating a high protien diet, you really, really need to keep your hydration levels up. Add in the water loss from exercise to the extra water needed to break down the protein you ate and you'll dehydrate that much faster. So drink twice as much water as you think you need to and you'll probably be OK. :-)
