This has happened several times this winter: I seem to get hungrier faster when I exercise outdoors in fairly cold winter temperatures. ie. temp. colder than minus -18 degrees C. Whether it's cycling, snowshoeing or simply hiking for a few hrs.
Yesterday we hiked in a park for only 7 km. in fresh snow 20 cms. deep @ temp. -23 degrees C. We were famished but discovered a nice restaurant in the park was closed for lunch. By the time we found store, I gobbled up a chococlate cookie within 2 minutes.
I'm beginning to believe that exercise in quite cold winter temperatures, simply burns off abit more calories....even simply by just standing around for half an hr. Wonder if someone has done a study on this..
