I've lost 100+ lbs. on two or three occasions in my life. I always inevitably fuck up, get complacent, and put the weight back on, but I'm on maybe a four-year streak this time and still around 170 lbs. If I could have gone back in time and told my original 370 lb. self (circa 2007) that I didn't just have to eat lettuce and run laps all day to lose the weight, I probably would have actually put in the effort to try. I hate that this misconception is so prominent. These days I just use my fitness pal and I do exactly like you said. Eat whatever the hell I want, but within the limitations I'm given.
You can't outrun a bad diet. Exercise might build muscle tone and cardio, but it does shit all for losing weight unless you're running marathons.
They're talking about staying within a calorie budget, but eating your choice of type of food. Exercise can increase your calorie budget even while cutting. In fact, you have to account for exercise if you want to maintain the standard 500kcal/day cut.
