A one-way between-subjects ANOVA would be appropriate for this study as it involves comparing the mean total calories consumed by participants in three different groups with different levels of exercise intensity. This design would allow for the evaluation of significant differences between the groups, while controlling for individual differences between participants. The other options (related samples t test and two-independent sample t test) would not be appropriate as they are used to compare means of two groups only.
