* * This view is correct * *. Generally speaking, tall and thin people consume more energy than short and fat people. This is because tall people usually have more body surface area and need more energy to maintain their body temperature. In addition, tall and thin people usually have longer limbs and higher basal metabolic rate, which will also increase energy consumption. In addition, although stout people may need less energy to maintain their body temperature than tall and thin people, many other activities in daily life, such as walking, running and jumping, may consume more energy. So generally speaking, tall and thin people consume more energy than short and fat people.
