If I know I'll go for a run I am very hesistant to eat heavily, as I know I'll regret it.
The more you exercise the more you push back heavy/unproductive meals in your schedule. You just know if you eat wrongly you won't be able to keep up with your own pace of execise.
Eating and execise seem deeply connected to me. Certainly it is hard to put this kind of thinking into a controlled randomized trial.
So much this. If you include regular exercise you're way more motivated not to over-eat, you simply don't want to spoil the hard work you did since it's so easy to consume 500 cal but so much harder (relatively) to burn 500 cal. Combining both has certainly been effective for me.
