Controlling the amount of calories we consume in a day is far more important than exercise.

That's what I've always heard (and I'm living proof - I've exercised a lot over the last several years, mostly eaten like crap and I'm still here), and it's also why exercising (almost) every day is so important. 300-500 sounds like nothing individually, but do it 5 times a week and it's 1500-2500, around a half a pound of body fat (3500).
