I suppose a better way to have said it with respect to "eating 800 calories a day and gaining weight" is that if you were a 5'7" female in a wheel chair with absolutely no use of your arms or legs, your body would still be burning 800+ calories a day to maintain itself and function... so no, you wouldn't be "getting fat" at 800 calories a day. A person who has use of their arms and legs certainly has no excuse as even walking for 1 hr a day for a very overweight person would burn 500+ calories.
