A warm lunch? How does temperature have anything to do with it?

It's more about cold dinner. Theory is you are more likely to over eat a warm meal.

So if you are going to keep to having a warm meal a day. Make it lunch.

Eating all your meals cold might be a reasonable approach to weight loss. Wait, did I just invent a new diet fad?

Your body covers the energy overhead to break down food into usable energy supply, ideally ending with a net positive. Warmer food presumably makes the digestion a little less costly. Cooked meat is definitely more rewarding (energy-wise) than raw meat (because it costs less to digest), so maybe warm food is a heuristic for cooked food as well.
