This statement is more accurate. Yes.

Also, to prove the opposite of your observation I can see when I started to eat or drink a bit more but the volume of work didn't stay at the "peak" where I was eating and drinking more. So, some gain.

It's a balance, implying two sides to the scale. You can add weight or remove from either end of the scale, and the scale will start to move. Volume of exercise on one side and volume/type of food on the other.

You can balance the scale with low exercise and low food. Or high exercise and high food. The effect being different person to person, of course.
