> In 2016, Pontzer and colleagues published a study putting forward the constrained energy model: Energy expenditure does increase with more activity, but only to a point. Once physical activity gets really high, the body will adjust other components of the metabolism to keep your daily energy expenditure within a narrow range

How do people who constantly repeat the mantra of thermodynamics in such threads explain this? How is the body burning the same calories with increased physical activity? Not to mention that people can extract more or less calories from the exact same food and quantity consumed.
