Lowering thermostat and calories burned?

You will gain "whale fat" as your body tries to conserve each gram of fat to
protect you from the next heat drought period. Look at swimmers. (not
Olympic calibre one that just burn off every calorie through brute calorie
expenditure)

Is there any study that shows how many calories you burn for each
degree you lower your home thermostat when you go to sleep? I suppose
the colder the home you sleep in, the higher the heat loss from your
body. This should raise your BMR which could amount to a significant
number of calories burned over eight hours.

I searched google but could not find an answer. I sleep with the
thermostat at 55, but lower than that I risk freezing pipes.

Thx!

I find this hard to believe. If your caloric intake remains the same,
then surely you will burn more calories in a colder environment ?!

You will burn less in a swimming pool. Try some water aerobics once and see
if you can even get your heart rate up to an aerobic level after 30 minutes.
