Different distribution is exactly what happens when we put more fat in fat tissue to be stored than in lean tissue to be used for fuel. Shift the balance either way without an increase in Ein and we grow fatter or leaner without growing heavier. Yet we can still grow heavier as well simply because more fuel is locked in fat tissue and less is used up by lean tissue. As lean tissue has access to less fuel, it drops its fuel usage to maintain mass. As lean tissue maintains mass but fat tissue grows bigger, the entire systems grows heavier. All the while there is no increase in Ein nor a reduction in apparent activity level, i.e. they walk the same distance, climb the same amount of stairs, etc.
When lean people take the elevator, we call them opportunists. When fat people take the elevator, we call them lazy. Don't blame the elevator for the reduction in Eout. There is no reduction since a heavier system requires and spends more fuel as a matter of fact. This is all kosher with the First Law of Thermodynamics. Remember, it takes more energy to move a heavier mass. Even standing there in the elevator, the heavier man actually spends more fuel than the lighter man.
