You could have glucose in your urine, try testing it.

Hi and Welcome. Cloudy urine can also mean a urinary
infection(uti). You can go to your Doc's(or clinic), they'll ask
you to pee in a little container and you'll know soon after.

Oh btw, only you would know if you are truly strange.

Cloudy urine usually means a UTI, however it is strange that you only have it that way after a meal. I would definitely say get some ketosticks to see if that's what's going on.

Almost any pharmacy has ketosticks. You can either urinate into a clean cup or just put the strip into your urine stream. Wait 15 seconds, then compare the color to the color blocks on the side of the jar (the color tells you how much sugar you've got in your urine). A jar of 100 ketosticks at Walgreens is somewhere around $7.00.
