During deamination of excess proteins in the body, the amino group of the protein is converted into glycogen for storage and the rest are excreted from the body in the form of urea by urining. Ammonia is found in urea, the more urine is concentrated (yellowish) the more urea it contain (ammonia) and the more it has a bad smell. Therefore as a conclusion : Ammonia comes from the protein you take in.
