Your diet definitely effects your overall fitness level. That hypothetical guy would be lacking those important nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that your body needs to stay healthy. Although, he most likely will not gain too much fat because of his metabolism.
His triglycerides would be extremely high because of all the fatty foods he is eating. This would effect his liver, arteries, and heart. Atherosclerosis or the plaque stuff in your arteries would form from the high fat diet. This will force your heart to work harder which would obviously increase your heart rate.
It would also effect your ability to increase your muscle mass and will make your recovery time become slower. One of the liver’s most complex functions is its ability to build proteins. With a damaged liver you will not be able to create enough protein. Protein is what repairs your muscles after you workout. So if you workout daily, your muscles will still be damaged from the day before.
Ha ha I have never got the chance to use this information before so thanks for that. By the way I learned a lot of this in Anatomy and Physiology. Hope I helped and good luck!!

Yes his fitness level would be effected because his body would not have the proper nutrients his body needs to recover and get stronger / healthier. If the same person were to diet properly plus do the same fitness routine the one who dieted properly would be stronger and healthier

In my opinion fitness level would effect as he is not taking proper diet, and his body will not get stronger also. i think he needs to take food properly and do a fitness exercise routine to make his health better
