I don't eat as healthy as I should but I'm not fat.. Why? Because I'm very active, I usually walk 5 to 10 miles a day and often bike another 5 or more. I also drink a lot of water which helps increase your metabolism.
What you are proposing is absolutely unrealistic.

Calories Burned During Exercise, Activities, Sports and Workouts

You say you don't eat that good, realistically you probably do 2000-3000 calories a day in intake. Then you go out and you exercise pretty heavily, much more than the average person does. You are a very active person so the food that you eat does not matter so much.

Most people cannot spend 2-4 hours a day doing a heavy workout/activity routine, which is what would be needed in order to "eat whatever you want." The answer for most people is to control intake because countering intake with proper output is extremely difficult.

Had Rochard been eating 1800-2000 calories daily during those overweight times that he had, he would not have been overweight, despite having no time for basic exercise, let alone 2-4 hours of mountain biking.
