Q: Do you burn most calories when you’re cold or warm? When you’re cold I guess your body use energy to try to get you warmer, but when you’re warm, your heart seem to beat stronger and your blood flow increases, so I was wondering, do you burn most calories when you’re cold, warm or normal?Best answer will be awarded with 10 points.

A: I believe it to be when you are cold.When you are cold, your body tries to warm itself up, hairs raise on your arms, and on the extreme end is shivering.I would think what you’re explaining being the allusion of a higher blood flow when you are warm, would be explained by the fact that liquids increase in volume when they are warmer (the whole, ice cube are smaller than the tray thing) and so having more (or a higher volume of) blood in the canals would mean it would be able to (and would have to) flow faster around the body.
