I believe this is a long-term trend, relative to controls. "Aged" CR subjects exhibit more activity than non-CR subjects the same age.

It is also widely believed there are short-term effects. Maybe the subject gets into a mildly stressed state where they are motivated towards taking action which might result in food being consumed. Maybe they spend less of their time incapacitated while digesting food. Whatever the explanation, these are not just long-term effects, I am pretty sure.
