A human who spends his day writing code is going to consume (at worst) the exact same amount of food as if he spent only half his day coding and the other half on something else. He might even consume less food while coding, if his non-coding activity is something physically intensive (i.e. burns more calories). I don't really see how the implication (that saving human time saves energy too) can possibly be true.
