I think what people usually miss about statistical results is that it's just a corelation.
The conclusion should be:
1. Eating less leads to better body composition and less internal organ strain in general.
2. Reasonable amounts of physical activity leads to better calorie utilisation and improved body composition.
3. It is absolutely possible to both eat less and do more sports.
4. Both eating less and doing more sports can damage the body. Say, running can damage one's joints, and undereating leads to muscle loss.
As in most things in life it's the balance that is important to get right, not just blindly following statistical insights that are mostly useless on an individual's level.

There is direct relation between what your body needs as energy and what calories are in your food. It is true for each and every single person, not just statistically over entire population. Our bodies are physical entities that follow physical laws of conservation of energy. Because we can't create energy from nothing, every calorie expended as heat or work has to be consumed. The only way to eat less calories is to expend less heat and work.
