A member asked:
Is your body temperature lower after eating dinner?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Actually temperature may go up a little (not a fever though) after eating due to the "specific dynamic action" of food metabolism. Digesting and metabolizing food genrates heat. You may notice this if you eat something while out in the cold weather.
