I find exercise sets the tone for what and how much I eat. After a week of working out every day, I feel better and have more energy for eating well. Eating well, in turn, makes me feel even better, and I'm able to keep the whole thing going for longer. In the end, it's a game of willpower and finding what helps you maintain your willpower.

Not to mention, lifting weights increases strength and adds muscle.

I agree. I can lose weight simply by restricting calories, but exercise is what makes restricting calories doable. I get far more from the exercise than just whatever few calories it burns.

Agree, it's hard to eat badly when you are putting in the time to work out, that's the case for me at least. But I also hear from people that they decided to eat badly, because they had an intense work out, and feel it's ok to indulge.
