"Thus, rigorously collected national data provide no support for higher energy consumption as a driver of the obesity epidemic since 2000. Strikingly, these data do not even support increasing energy consumption as a consequence of the obesity epidemic, i.e., that as people gain weight, they need to eat more. Rather, the data suggest that Americans have been eating relatively less, for their larger body sizes, over the last 2 decades." https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/115/6/1445/6572830?fbclid=IwAR1GlamuWwnp6xr0xP9vzCrb4MNdqOuFmnNF-o4oH3rsivjIuiU9oJYXBSc&login=false#:~:text=year%20after%20year.-,US%20Trends%20in%20Energy%20Intake,-The%20United%20States https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/115/6/1445/6572830?fbc...
