In a typical winter day with low temperatures does eating a ice cream make your body temp go lower than their calories can heat after being absorbed by the body?

Question

Supposing a normal outside temperature and eating an ice cream at -6°C with 30g of carbs and 15g of fat, will the calories given after the nutrients has been absorbed be enought to rise the body temperature to the normal values (36.5°C) after the ice cream has been eated? Or you will need extra calories to heat yourself up. We’re supossing the outside temperature doesn’t really affect yourself in the process.

Answer 1

You didn’t include the key information of how much mass of ice cream you have, nor what the thermal properties are (e.g. specific heat of the ice cream in different phases)

With that said 255 calories could raise the temperature of two+ liters of water from 0 to 100. So it would seem unlikely that 255 calories couldn’t melt a reasonable amount (~100 grams) of ice cream from -6 to 37.
