I don't know why...I am cold a lot, even when I haven't been eating.  However, there is a thread on the forums from a while back about people who get cold after eating.

O_O Same thing happens to me too. I am always FREEZING after I eat, even if I eat a huge, nice warm meal. It's wierd.

Do you get a little sleepy after you eat, too? 

What happens is immediately after you eat, your body sends more blood to your stomach because all of a sudden it has to work harder that usual to digest the food you just ate.  More blood to the stomach means less to circulate to your extremities (hands, feet) which makes you feel cold, and to your brain which makes you sleepy.  Some people will notice the effects more than others. 

So that's it! Funny, but normal!
