In winter, as in any season, when the weather is cold, the body needs a little more calories to be able to maintain its homeostasis, to function properly and not….get cold.
Depending on the cold and the activity in it, the daily caloric intake can increase by about 20 to 30%.
We need to increase mainly complex carbohydrates (corn, wheat and its products, legumes, potatoes, rice, pasta). Secondly, to increase proteins (eggs, meat, fish, cheese), and thirdly, to increase fat a little (olive oil, tahini, butter, avocado).
Carbohydrates provide energy, proteins take longer for the body to digest so they increase metabolism and give strength, fats delay digestion, so we do not get hungry quickly after a meal.
It is better to have 5 to a maximum of 7 meals (breakfast, snack, before lunch, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and if necessary, a meal before bed) a day so that the body does not run out of energy and start getting cold. It is wiser to consume most of the calories until the afternoon snack (unless it is eaten before sleep time).
