In the paper they say that the daily energy expenditure matches well a function of the fat-free mass (a power-law function, at high masses the energy per mass ratio is lower than at low masses).

Therefore all their data is based only on fat-free mass, i.e. total body mass minus fat mass.

So all their conclusions are not influenced by the amount of fat vs. muscle.
