I think you misunderstood my meaning. If your insulin is lower in between meals, your fat cells will be able to release more energy. If you add the extra energy released and made available plus what you intake, you would probably find that it matches your previous higher intake in energy. So your calorie intake would be lower as an effect, since your stored energy is able to contribute.
The equation would be:
Total Energy Change = (Intake + Released from fat cells) - Energy used.
So intake might be lower, but the total "energy in" stays the same. And you are losing weight in an anabolic state.
"Total Energy Change" might be zero, but you are losing weight nonetheless.
