Is this somehow new information? I thought it’s been known for years (decades?) that increasing physical activity also increases daily energy use. The “metabolic adaption” that people discuss is merely a fractional reduction in NEAT expenditure that compensates partially but not completely in caloric expenditure. You’ll always burn more calories by doing exercise vs not, I don’t know why this would be new science.
When I read this title, it sounded like "if you travel further with your vehicle, you will consume more gas". Wow, people get paid to make this study ?

It's become controversial because of the politics of weight loss, and the media's addiction to "counterintuitive research shows".

Agree. Much more interesting is the nugget that "your car keys always travel farther than your car" (assuming you're only using one set of course).
I had hoped that the keys to increasing energy use were sitting, eating snacks, and sleeping.
> The research also found a clear link between being more active and spending less time sitting still.
This is hard to argue with, but I will try anyway.
> Physical activity increases total daily energy use, study shows
