should eating poorly be used as an excuse not to exercise?

NO!!! Having said that, I do understand why that would enter your mind. It does with me all the time, but I just push through and then I feel better that I did it!!0

Being lazy on your diet should not compel you to be lazy in general.

It depends what you mean by 'eating poorly' and why you are exercising.
If eating poorly is eating too much - absolutely not, the opposite. I was about spot on my calories, but after my run I only had some milk to hand, so I drank that instead. I'm hoping to spend a bit of time on the punch bad later.
If you've given your body fuel, then burn it and increase your health.
If you're only exercising to lose weight while you've not eaten enough, then sure don't bother - you're already at a deficit - go make it up the intended deficit.0 -
This doesn't make any sense.0

Lets say I didn't eat well today should that stop me from exercising tonight? I used this excuse often, feel like I will never get started back up! Help me....
Does eating badly give you IBS like symptoms? If it does, then that's a good reason not to work out.0 -
One has nothing to do with the other...nutrition and fitness are two completely different things that happen to work together in concert to make you a better and healthier you. Having a crappy nutrition day has no bearing on whether you should exercise...actually, maybe it does...maybe it makes that exercise that much more important. You can't out exercise a bad diet, but I guess you could mitigate damage.

I forgot to charge my phone. Only option now is to throw it against a wall...then drive over it with my truck.0

If anything, eating poorly motivates me to exercise harder. :S0
