I keep track of my daily caloric consumption. I find that as the weather gets colder, I can eat more and not put on weight.
The science is very simple - The body expends energy (burning calories) in order to maintain body temperature. When it is colder, the body must expend more energy and therefore burn more calories.
There must be some specific formula to rely on.
What is it?
Using myself as an example, (165 lbs) before the winter months, I can't eat more that 2,250 calories a day without gaining weight. However, now with the weather <40 degrees fahrenheit), it appears that the magic number (to not gain weight) is more than 2,400 calories.
Thanks
