I despise China for a lot of reasons but they are definitely based in many ways.

So eating just enough to be satisfied (rather than stuffing yourself like a hog) is healthy? Who would have guessed?

Common sense. You can't out work a crappy diet.

Broadly speaking you can expect to burn around 100 calories per mile of running.

That means if you did everything else perfectly right, and ran one mile for every can of cola you drank in excess of your other calorie needs you're in a surplus.

You can't out work a bad diet.

Yes you can simply by eating only within the limits of your required kcal per day.

Or more specifically, eating within CICO without molesting your insulin response cycle by either preserving long intervals between meals or limiting the glycemic index of the foods you eat. You have a surprising amount of leeway to, for example, down an energy drink if you aren't going to consume any other food for 20 hours.

Yes. As a small person I have to eat very carefully to maintain proper height:weight proportion. Not easy. But I eat what I want as long as I balance it.

That 100 cals per mile is wrong. It includes your resting BMR, which would burn about 50 calories an hour just sitting on a couch. After everything factored in, depending on size, fitness, etc. you're only burning about 30 to 50 calories per mile. The fitter you are, the less you burn, too.
