i think that’s technically true but reductive, you will continue to burn calories at a higher rate for quite a while after any reasonably strenous exercise and as you get stronger it becomes easier to burn more calories, thus letting you increase your daily calorie budget.
I’m not saying that five minutes of cardio will suddenly let you eat 5 cakes, but have you seen the diets that weightlifters keep? with a lot of muscle and frequent heavy exercise you can burn such an amount of calories every day that eating 3 pizzas is a good starter course.
Also we aren’t talking about a bad diet, just eating a bit too much. Of course exercise isn’t going to fix you eating snickers instead of vegetables but it will absolutely fix eating one too many burgers.
That’s it. If you’re bulking eating 3k calories a day is normal. The more muscle you get, the more you have to eat to maintain your form(or eat less to effectively burn body fat). Of course, you want to eat healthy, meaning that eating 3 burgers a day is probably not the best thing, since it has a lot of fat in it.
fat isn’t unhealthy, it’s just calorie dense. The only issue i see with eating 3 burgers per day is that you should be eating a varied diet to make sure you don’t get too little or too much of any one nutrient or potential toxin. Plus burgers have too much meat compared to the amount of greens…
and honestly 3 burgers per day is a completely normal amount of food, too little if anything. Even with fries that’s about as much as most people would eat in a day.
but really “eating healthy” is basically just a matter of not eating a significant amount of sugar and getting as much greens as possible, making sure 90% of what you consume is home-made (even if that includes quite a lot of pastries) is pretty fool-proof. Just make your own burgers and add some more lettuce.
