get regular exercise and be both. Literally like 40% of my motivation for staying active is that it lets me eat more.
you cannot exercise your way out of a bad diet is the general advise. a snickers bar is 73 calories and to burn 100 calories you have to run a 10 minute mile.
you simply can accumulate calories at a way faster rate than you can reasonably exercise.
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.
