That produces appetite suppressing peptide YY and doesn't deplete your glycogen stores as much leading to hunger.
Working out past your anaerobic threshold reduces hunger stimulating ghrelin production, but is too limited - you can't do that every day, and probably can't accumulate more than 30 minutes total. Instead you end up working somewhat hard which produces what runners call "runger" because you've depleted your glycogen stores without increasing peptide YY or decreasing ghrelin.
If you could ignore hunger you wouldn't be asking about weight loss.

The problem with charts like this is the represent the calorie burn during the work and don't consider the afterburn, so they are misleading to some extent
