You misunderstand me:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4989512/
After 6 years, 41.0±31.3 kg of the lost weight was regained (p=0.0002) while RMR was 704±427 kcal/d below baseline (p<0.0001) and metabolic adaptation was −499±207 kcal/d (p<0.0001)
The lower RMR remained and sometimes continued to drop after they regained the weight.
Any normal person cannot assume that their RMR is something they get off of a website calculator, or that it will behave like linearly. Speaking as someone formerly fat, the metabolic adaptation did persist for years after I lost all the weight, putting me around 400 below where I should have been on the chart.
It is still quite annoying, though it has lessened.
