Another idea.

2 1/2 hours per day of exercise cannot possibly compensate for a dietary deficiency, but the inverse is actually possible where eating more protein can compensate for lack of exercise since protein on its own causes growth (never mind that carbs stimulate insulin stimulate excess fat accumulation).

This is First Law we're talking where we can't create protein (the protein required for growth regardless of how this growth was stimulated) out of nothing.

I guess I shoulda started with this.
