The main reason we eat less in summer is pretty simple: digesting food creates body heat.
When you eat, your body works hard to break that food down. This process creates internal heat. In winter, this is great because it keeps you warm. In Summer, your body wants the opposite.
Your brain tells you to stop eating, especially heavy, rich foods, since you naturally eat less in summer, the quality of your food matters more. You need meals that provide:
Hydration: Veggies with lots of water in them.
Easy Protein: Lean meats like fish and chicken that don't sit heavy in your stomach.
Minerals: To replace what you lose when you sweat.
