How many Calories do you need ( article by Ken)

[Scythe13]

I hate to be the scientist in all of this, but if it's winter and you're out and about, or if you're wet through, or swimming in cold water, or just in water in general, you'll have thermogenic calorie burning!!! That can add up to an additional, 6000+ calories, please note that is not a typo, it is meant to be a 6 with 3 0's after it, and a plus sign after those zeros. Yes 6000+ calories, extra required to maintain current weight.

Also, note that drinking cold water burns calories, because your body needs to maintain a constant temperature, so will burn calories to get back to normal body temp. A single ice cube melted in your mouth causes 40 extra calories to be burned! Think about arctic expeditions, how much they eat per day....12'000 calories a day. Yet on some days they're travelling only 2-4miles if that, and are still losing weight. It's not that it's super hard work that causes them to lose that much weight. Pro athletes burn around 5500 calories a day, and they're doing that hard work!!! It's the temperature difference that is being totally neglected.
