Extra calories when cold

November 20, 2005, 01:48 PM

For those of us nearing target and counting calories as well as carbs, how many extra calories should be allowed in cold weather?

As an example at the top end of consumption I think British Army Field Rations are about 4000 Kcals per day and Arctic Rations 6000Kcals.

Not that I paln on eating that much.

Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: Extra calories when cold

Are you planning on doing heavy outdoor labor during this cold weather?

your body should tell you with your appetite that you need more cals on a day you need more and less on a day you don't. well actually it is your appetite the next day that tells you.

Happy low carbing.
