There's a big difference between "eating when you want" and having an active lifestyle that restricts eating naturally, versus binging TV on the couch with junk food 10 feed away.
Over the last 50 years in the U.S. we estimate that daily occupation-related energy expenditure has decreased by more than 100 calories, and this reduction in energy expenditure accounts for a significant portion of the increase in mean U.S. body weights for women and men
That's 3000 calories per month, or almost 10 lbs of fat per year.
