You don’t think that people who burn more calories through physical exertion will need to consume more calories through food?
You don't want to get them in a single meal though. Because a lot of them will end up being wasted instead of completely absorbed.
I said beyond a certain point. Your body is very good at preserving calories. Unless you're starving yourself while training you shouldn't need like a megadose of calories.
Do you even know that calories are?
Yes and I promise they're not as simple as the mental model you have in mind
Looking through this thread with actual trainers and doctors dramatically suggests otherwise.
