Sf the total reduction in energy expenditure, nearly 60% of it was due to less calories burned during exercise of which 40% was due to being lighter and 60% was doing less total activity. That means that most of the adaptive component isn't even in metabolic rate in the first place.
It's changes in energy expenditure during activity, both formal exercise and SPA/NEAT

if im not careful this could soo be me in postboxing life since making weight is no longer a concern lol

adarqui:
just run more. :ninja:

i eat alot, but running negates it.

i think gaining lots of fat while training for a marathon, would mean you are putting in low mileage weeks, with one long run, and eating everything in sight. that's definitely a problem. lol.

also, in my experience, if you do a long run, you mostly just want sugar/water after -> hard to eat a big meal. ie, i'll run 2-3 hours then crave a milkshake, or grapefruit, etc.. but not some massive meal. So you'll remain positive in calories burned to calories ingested, at least for that effort.
