Yeah, the amount of extra calories consumed is not that great and does not require that much extra food.
Just did a quick calculation for me, biking 30 min to work would have me burning an extra 170 kcal. I could add 1 and half tablespoons of butter to a meal and cover it easily.
One of the most disheartening things is using one of those exercise machines that tells you how much calories you burned and then how exhausting it is to burn one snickers bar.
Yeah, caloric intake plays a much larger role on weight loss than moving more.
