That's actually really not true at all. Honestly think about people at the gym: the people working harder tend to be a
lot thinner than the people working lightly in the "fat burning zone."
In the fat burning zone, you burn a greater
percentage of fat calories. Let's say you burn 300 calories and 2/3 of them are from fat, so 200 calories. If you work much harder and burn 450 calories but only 50% of them are from fat, you burn 225 fat calories, plus 225 glycogen calories. This means that more of the food you eat will go towards glycogen instead of fat.
More calories burnt = more fat lost.
