Disagree. I just climbed the highest peak in this part of the state. Assuming my FitBit data is accurate I was 2,500 calories behind that day--the next day I ate normally. That's more than half a pound of weight loss. It's not my first time up there, either.

You disagree with the idea that eating matters more than exercise because your literal climb to the top of a mountain shaved off an extra Big Mac meal in calories?

Most Americans aren't climbing a mountain a day to overcome terrible eating habits.
