> caloric burn rate is constant regardless of lifestyle

This is obviously false as stated, extreme athletes consume vastly more calories than sedentary people of their same weight. Phelps was rather famous for a 10,000+ calorie per day diet but even just manual labors need significantly more calories.

I’m assuming there’s some unspecified criteria such as while sleeping?
