A 600lb person walking a mile burns significantly more calories than a 200lb person doing the same thing. Im 200lbs and I can back squat 300lbs, a 600lb person squatting down and standing back up is moving more weight than I am… If they can manage it.
I think this is sort of why people eating more than usual and keeping that end up heavier instead of just gaining weight forever. You burn more calories when you’re heavier.
But, yeah, someone who is 600 pounds is burning more calories by moving than someone who is 200 pounds.
By that logic a morbidly obese person is exercising harder than anyone else by moving their 600lb ass around the living room.
They are.
