Eating for Winter

Is there really such a thing as a winter diet and summer diet? The answer depends, of course, on whether there is such a thing as winter weather where you live. For those who live in a place where winter means snow, ice, and low low temperatures, Outside magazine suggests a diet designed for warmth. Ready, here goes:
BREAKFAST: Whole-grain toast with nut butter and jam,
  and a serving of yogurt; or whole-grain pancakes, eggs, and fruit.
 
  LUNCH: A bowl of vegetable stew with whole-grain crackers or bread;
  or a turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread with lettuce, avocado,
  tomato, sprouts, and mustard, plus pretzels on the side.
  DINNER: Baked chicken or fish with whole-grain pasta and
  salad; or a stir-fry with brown rice, vegetables, and lean meat.
  DESSERT: Pumpkin pie is loaded with antioxidants.
  SNACKS: Trail mix, string cheese, Snickers, peanut-butter
  crackers, fruit, and high-carb energy bars are all good options
  every couple of hours between meals.
  DRINK: In cold weather, it’s not always enough to merely
  stay hydrated. To boost warmth, drink beverages that include spices like
  cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, which stimulate digestive enzymes
  and thus help you generate more heat after eating.
