Bones are considered an organ too because they are made of a form of connective tissue. Obese individuals' bones have to bear more weight.

Do you burn more calorie if you are more fit?
No. obese people have a lot more fat on them than people that are working out. So if you're working out and you're fit then you are going to lose more and look a lot skinnier than the obese person... and the obese person needs to work a lot harder then the person who's fit because they have a lot more to burn off.Alternative answer:By the fact that an obese person weighs more, and has a larger body to support, it is a logical assumption to make that an obese person 'needs' more calories to maintain the same weight.However, the amount of muscle mass a person has will also dictate how much energy is used, and this may vary substantially between obese people.
