But then you have to explain why free living people don't just eat 20 calories less (or more) to compensate.

Personally, when I was busy gaining my share of the X pounds a year that people do in our society, I don't think it was 20 calories a day. More like a couple pounds around Christmas that never totally went away, a couple of months of horrible eating while I was depressed/psychotic, etc. I mean, I could buy a small difference in bmr as a symptom maybe of something good going on, but I scrunch my nose at it as a CICO thing the same way I'd scrunch at claims that just cutting 100 calories from the diet would result in a pound of fat loss in 35 days etc.
