You can NOT out-train a bad diet. PERIOD.
I use a calorie counting app to help me watch my intake. I struggle to keep my weight under check... and I bicycle a solid 2000+ miles a year. I also weight train and exercise. Don't kid yourself about what makes people fat. It isn't a desk job that packs on pounds... it's excessive calories that makes people fat.
Lack of exercise will make you soft... but it won't make you fat.
Food/eating can be pretty addictive. You may be in over your head. If cutting off the food doesn't seem do-able you may want to seek a little professional help.
