Exercise alone cannot offset a poor diet because workout sessions burn fewer calories than expected while triggering an increase in appetite. While diet controls total calorie intake and overall weight, resistance training directs muscle growth and determines body composition shape. Prioritizing protein in main meals and tracking progress ensures both diet and exercise work together effectively.
