It isn’t. Bad diet can mean a lot of different things. If you are only eating a little extra kcal then exercise could compensate for that. Obviously unless you run a marathon a day you won’t escape eating an entire cake every day.
5000 calories a day of any food, any reasonable person with absolutely barebone nutritional education knows this. Idk if everyone is just trolling that other dude or what’s happening.
Damn, I didn’t realize the definition of “bad diet” was 5,000 calories per day. I never studied nutrition, so is there some sort of book or organization where that’s defined?
Right, the vast majority of people should not be consuming 5,000 calories per day.
At the same time, a bad diet could be something else, including a 2,000 calorie-per-day diet. And it’s perfectly reasonable to use the term to mean that.
Correct. You’re explaining the fact that a term like “bad diet” can be reasonably deduced. Weird that your initial statement was acting like that’s impossible. Thanks.
Eh, I look at it more as who you’re going to be telling this to. Someone who is fat and starting exercise is never going to have the endurance to burn off their caloric intake. They need to reduce their caloric intake so that their body can physically handle exercise.
But a lot of high caliber athletes have trash diets because caloric intake trumps nutrient needs. It is also the reason why a lot of athletes get fat if they stop exercising since they are used to the trash diets and can no longer burn it off.

It depends on your timing. In 18 months, I went from obese to able to run 5km in under 20 minutes.

And that’s exactly what happened to me when I got injured!
I think the point is about long term consequences, not short-term. Young bodies are good at adapting but, the abuse catches up in later years. It takes getting old to drive that point home for most people, though.
It really wasn’t. My body fat levels were athlete level low, my heart health was good and my cholesterol’s were good. Though I don’t know how much of that was related to my running to be fair
Literally impossible, but ok

If you’re being a pedant, sure. But of course everyone knows what “bad diet” actually means
What does it mean then?
You’re literally being pedantic. You do know this, don’t you?
I genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about

No, its just obvious that you should not be consuming that amount unless you are a super athlete.

Usain Bolt ate 100 chicken nuggets per day at the Olympics. Does 100 chicken nuggets sound like a good diet?

You win goofiest comment of the day
