So yes - a more efficient rider will expend less energy to produce 300w. But only marginally so.

And, in general, most non-pro riders will use the same amount of energy to produce that 300w.

A less fit rider, non pro etc. will burn more calories than the pro. The pro has to work even harder ie. do more watts, to burn the same amount of calories due to there body being more efficient ie. fuel / economy. Due to this, they will not use the same amount of energy, to do the same amount of watts. Plus as Alex said, there metabolsm's will be different.

Thanks for repeating exactly what I just said.

I've come up with the perfect contingency plan to avoid christmas weight gain. I've put on all the weight before christmas problem solved.

Im going away for about 10 days of the holidays to see the wife's family. There will be no cycling done and a shedload of food on offer... punishment begins in january I guess!
