I have read research that shows that an infant doesn't use more calories breastfeeding compared to bottle feeding. But i don't think that i have read any that states they use less energy. Even though breastfed infants were eating longer than bottlefeeding they didn't use up more calories. These studies were done on premature infants but i don't think there would be a difference for term infants.  http://kellymom.com/momblog/blog-post/preterm-infants-breastfeeding-versus-bottle-feeding/
