Recent science suggests that the body adjusts to burn approximately the same amount of calories per day, given a consistent amount of activity, regardless of how much activity there actually is. So, a person with an active lifestyle will burn approximately the average 2,000 calories, but a person at rest will also burn about the same number.
I'm oversimplifying massively, but essentially, the theory is that if you don't give your body an outlet to burn with, it will burn the calories on things that aren't good for you. Eg, increasing inflammation.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of these effects are contributing factors.
