Well one obvious adaptation is losing fat = less energy needed to move the body.

We saw a very large reduction in caloric expenditure in people who were already very fit runners. So body weight changes over the course of the experiment are unlikely to explain it.

So if they just kept doing the experiment they would end up not needing to eat?

Clearly there are some details that matter here...

And in most places in the article calorie expenditure is taken as "corrected for no-fat weight".
