Can Healthy Eating and Fun Exercising Make Us Fat? Post-Intake and Expenditure Calorie Compensation
Homeostasis should lead people to compensate for overeating by eating less and to compensate for exercising by eating more. In a series of studies involving analyses of consumption panels and laboratory and field experiments, we show surprisingly little amount of calorie compensation within and across meals. We also find that compensation is influenced by whether overeating involved healthy or tasty foods and whether people focused on the healthy or enjoyable dimensions of exercising.
