[..snip...] I also find that in cool, wet conditions, I need to eat more and having a dried soup packet or whatever feels really good if you've been damp for a long time, and our bodies burn more energy anyway in the cold (skiing always does this to me too).
Good point. Cold rain certainly drains a lot of calories (as the body tries to keep it's core temperature). My regular diet is ramen-heavy. Agree that it makes for feel-good meals.
