Do you consume more calories in winter than in summer?

No, summer consumes far more calories than winter.

One is that it is very hot in summer and people are in warm-blooded animals. In order to dispel the excess heat in the body, they will sweat. Theoretically, for every 1 liter of sweat that the human body exudes and evaporates, it can take away 290 kilocalories from the body, and the amount of sweat per person per day can be as high as 3 to 10 liter.

Secondly, sweating is also the time when metabolism is accelerated. In order to maintain a high level of metabolism, more calories are needed to support it, which is why summer is the best season to lose weight.

In winter, in order to keep the heat in the body, people will wear thick winter clothes to keep warm, so the heat will not be easily lost.
