The Answer
Up to 96 extra calories burned/day
The Full Picture
Drinking 8 glasses (64 oz / 2 liters) of water daily has measurable metabolic effects. Studies show cold water temporarily increases metabolism by 24-30% for 60-90 minutes after drinking. Over a year this could burn an extra 35,000 calories. More practically, water before meals reduces calorie intake by 75-90 calories per meal.
