That's an oldie.
Since NEAT is the new flavour of the year , an addition would be to say that essentially G-Fluxers aren't just busy 3-4 times a week in the gym, they STAY busy all the time and do something strenuous most days.. which can be both actual intentional exercise as well as NEAT, provided it's not too tame: gardening, snowshoveling , you get the picture.
An example in my direct surrounding would be a friend who trains on Olympic lifts as well as some bb & PL exercises 6 times/week, uses rowing for cardio, has a high NEAT from cycling & standing around.
A while ago we did the math on a diet that was given to her and figured she must have a maintenance of approx. 3500kcal. Nothing to sneeze at, I'd say. It's a safe bet that her maintenance would only have been slightly over 2000kcal when completely sedentary.
So, yes, I suppose this is G-Flux.
