Calories and cold?
There is a tremendous amount of data and informal information on calorie burning for different sports, activities, and even sex. Has anyone seen or read the correlation between body temperature and calorie burning. Like for every fifteen degrees of ambient temperature, past a certain point, you start burning potentially more calories.
Must be one of those BTU formulas for this…………..or

Agreed, it is more of a laboratory type situation, hopefully no one took this question as any thing more. I am looking for the calorie burn rate. I know you all have seen the chart that says how much for swimming and how much for sex……….and all!
