Part of this might also be about how exercise generally leaves you feeling pretty good, usually better than after a day that is spent entirely sedentary in my experience. A lot of people crave the instant satiating feeling of eating. Eating often feels good. The exercise might then help by replacing the "make me feel better" feeling that food might give you, leading to you swapping out "unnecessary" feeding and lowering your caloric intake in the process.
