For some context I really want to loose weight and get rid of some pre hrt male fat I still have, I currently only eat one meal a day but from my thinking since they all seem to have some level of surgar I'm actually gaining weight even though I've only eating once that day. I'm not really sure but I know exercise will help and gym membership seems semi cheap.

Depends how intense your workouts are. Very high intensity exercise for 1 hour could burn off enough calories to eat 3 extra basic McD cheeseburgers and still be a net positive. Of course most people physically aren't capable of burning that level of calories for very long (the exception being people like Olympic swimmers).

But I feel like I tend to over-eat post-exercise because I think I mistake tiredness as "need to eat" since often that's how I tell I need to eat. Idk for sure since I don't generally exercise for the calorie reason, so I'm not keeping track of how many calories I burn vs eat. If I burn an extra 2000 calories, I'd probably feel like I'm over-eating even if I only ate an extra 1500 on top of a normal amount of eating.
