The Dances with Fat blog has a great post about the fallacy of this commonly held false belief.
An excerpt:
Besides which, a BMR-type calculation would be reasonable if we were a lawnmower. We can calculate the fuel needs of a lawnmower and then have a reasonable expectation of how much grass it can mow and what will happen when the fuel runs out.
Ready for a blinding flash of the obvious? Our bodies are not lawnmowers.
