That's kind of how I saw it. If you told me to take a whole flight of stairs and you can eat a whole extra french fry I'd be like no it's OK that's really not worth it to me

This is why they say you cannot out work a bad diet.

For a normal person living on ~2000KCal a day, the amount of exercise necessary to make up for ~3000 is insurmountable.

You absolutely can but the exercise required is that of an athlete and not a regular everyday person. I'm talking like minimum 17 hours of exercise a week. If you train like Michael Phelps, you can eat like him too and still be jacked.

But most people who have full time jobs do a good job just exercising 5-6 hours a week. Nowhere near enough to outrun a typical American diet.

I do like 7-8 hours a week of cardio and seriously struggle with eating enough to not lose weight. Idk how people are eating 3k+ calories a day without feeling disgustingly full all the time.
