  This isn’t as clear as it might seem. Your body is constantly producing heat and in virtually all scenarios that we consider a comfortable temperature we are actually spending energy (burning calories) trying to cool off to maintain our body temp.
  So depending on the temperature of the room, eating cold food may burn fewer calories not more because the cold food will cool us off reducing our body’s need to spend calories doing that job.
  Regardless the difference is so minimal as to be functionally irrelevant if someone is trying to count calories to alter their weight.

  Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"
