No need to cite the 3rd law. Your 3000 calorie example is a bit ridiculous-- that would be someone who is gaining weight steadily to the tune of 1+ pound a week, and if that's the norm for years, they'd be 100's of pounds overweight. That's an edge case. A bit of regular exercise will work for all but the most silly examples.

I would not call this a 'silly' example as I have witnessed this anecdotally with a number (<10) of people who I have helped.

I do not think it's wise to make such a large and unsubstantiated blanket statement, as I have mentioned prior it comes down to how much you are consuming and burning each day, over a prolonged period of time. It is also not helpful to say 'a bit of regular', that statement is hazy and it's impossible to know what you actually mean.
