That's one of the takeaways here, there were a lot more details.

The stuff about everyone's baseline energy consumption being pretty much just linked to your body weight (and in the long term being unaffected by the amount of exercise you do) was pretty eye-opening for me. I had no idea that if you live a sedentary lifestyle, your body uses that extra energy budget for stuff like your immune system (which is bad), and this could be why exercise reduces inflammation, etc.
