Do you burn more calories when you are cold than you do when you are warm?

Answer 1

Yes because your body burns calories trying to warm up. In fact I just read an article that says your body burns more calories drinking ice cold water, than cool water because it has to work harder to warm the water up.

Answer 2

Yes, but not that much more. Just like the theory that drinking ice cold water burns more calories, just warming the throat and stomach back to body temperature.

You would burn a lot more calories by walking around in the cold.

Answer 3

Yes. The body works hard (by shivering, etc) to warm you up. In fact, drinking water cold burns more calories than when it's warm. The body expends energy to warm it up.

Answer 4

Yes you do. Your body needs more energy to warm up therefore you burn more calories when you are cold.

Answer 5

The common wisdom is that we do burn more calories to get warm than we do to stay warm. If you get cold enough to shiver, that also burns more energy, but it's your body's way of "stoking the furnace".

Answer 6

Yes you do indeed! Calories burned = HEAT. When you have to warm yourself up you must burn more calories. To cool off you can merely slow your metabolism.

Answer 7

Yes, according to my bodytrainor.

The colder you feel all the more calories are burnt to keep your body warm it seems so like in jogging for example,the lesser clothes you wear,the more sweat your body produces.It does sound strange I know but it makes sense and logical if you come to think of it.

Answer 8

I believe it is when you are cold because your body is working so hard to stay warm.

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

yes, that´s why you usually get hungrier in cold places/seasons.
