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.
