Should I eat less in the wintertime?

Many people believe that the body slows its metabolism when the tempature drops, but they're forgetting an important fact: Humans aren't bears. We don't hibernate. And as a result, our metabolisms don't fluctuate with the seasons. You should base your calorie intake on your weight and activity level, not the outside are temp, and if you're consistent in your exercise habbits, there's no need to change your eating patterns.

Unfortuately, Many people spend their winters eating a bit more and exercising a bit less, which leads to weight gain. If that sounds like you, cut 200 calories from your food intake and broaden your idea of exercise.
