man.. i always ask the dumbest questions.. thanks for answering them guys!

what is the difference between eating 2000 Calories worth of food and doing no exercise, and eating 3000 Calories worth of food while doing enough cardio to burn 1000 Calories?

and if one were to do the cardio and eat 2000 worth of clean stuff then 1000 worth of junk (candy, chips, beer etc...), what would be the difference between eating just 3000 worth of clean food and doing cardio?

Do you know how much cardio you have to do to burn 1000 kcals? A lot! Do you really have that much spare free time?

your caloric intake is calculated subracting the burnt calories for the day. However, cardio is not useless; it can increase metabolic rate and is also very good for cardiovascular health and lowering your resting HR.
