The constrained model doesn't contradict cals in/cals out. All it says that the calories out will be sublinear in the amount of exercise added.

Furthermore, the graph of energy expenditure over time (in section 10) directly agrees with what calories in/calories out predicts. See, for example, how perfectly the "very low calorie diet" agrees with the exponential decay predicted by theory.
