Myth: If you exercise, you can eat whatever you want.

 While exercise does burn calories, what and how much you eat still matters. For example, a one-mile walk burns about 100 calories — so you'd have to walk for 12 miles to burn off the typical 1,200-calorie fast-food meal of a hamburger, fries, and a soft drink!

I eat a lot and hardly ever exercise, but I have an overall weight of around 150 pounds. I'm perfectly happy with that weight, considering the fact that I am almost 6 feet tall and female.

Since I don't exercise I think that means I CAN eat what I want. ^^

(Even if that's wrong, and I don't doubt that, I still haven't gained weight other than typical growth patterns. That and the fact that I have only three square meals every weekday because I go to school)
