Thin overeaters are less efficient at energy (calorie) storage than fat overeaters.

This was what I disagreed with. You seem to take my mention of my mother as an agreement. She can process more calories because she's freakin' active all the time. Barring some illnesses/medications I truly believe it's calories in vs. calories burned. The reasons you used above is what a lot of overweight people use to delude themselves into thinking there is nothing they can do about it.
