    I’m not vegan at all, but as someone who easily overheats, I eat very little or no meat at all in the summer because it greatly cools me down. Or maybe better said, meat heats me up. So I save it for winter

      I am vegan, so maybe that’s part of why I’m often chilly in the winter, but eating generally warms me up. That’s fine in the winter, but in the summer it makes eating anything substantial difficult.

        Maybe you can try some plant fats and high protein? Like a very decadent high protein cake? Though high bioavailable protein is a bit harder as a vegan than vegetarian, but I think it might still be possible to make a very decadent cake perhaps?

          I normally eat a bunch of tofu and legumes, so I get a lot of protein generally. Currently I’m doing a lot of (high protein and sugar free) skyr alternative that I mix with oats, almonds, chia seeds, frozen berries, and puffed amaranth, which is pretty nutritious, I just have to eat it very early or very late

          It happens for me no matter what. I’m talking about perceived warmth, because my actual temperature is only relevant if it’s outside of the healthy range, so I only measure it when I’m sick.

              Not currently, lol, because eating makes me hot and it’s 38C. This has been the case for my entire life, through many years of more scheduled eating, though.
