Also, I know I just said to burn equal calories from diet and exercise, but prior to that I said diet is more important. What I mean is that diet is a constant and is rather simple to maintain without effort...exercise can often be a variable based on your schedule unless you're some 16 year old with no job or responsibilities outside of doing book reports.
If you have a real career or in college, those things take priority over exercise and you often end up having no time to exercise that day, or for multiple days in a row. Like, right now, I just graduated college and now I work a very weird schedule because I'm a radiologist in a hospital. I work 12 hours a day for four days straight, then have three days off. It leaves me pretty much no time to exercise during my work days and I have to fit in exercise on the off days in between my errands and social affairs. Mileage may vary...if you work a steady 9-5 job five days a week, it's obviously a lot easier to work out.
At the end of the day, at least I know dieting is still doing something for me ALL the time. The upside is that I probably cover over six miles a day from work (1 mile walk to work, constantly walking and hustling around in the hospital, climbing stairs often, and walking a mile back home).
You need to tailor diet and exercise based around what you normally do. If you're highly sedentary, it's more of a pain because you purposely need to schedule a good amount of exercise to balance it out. If you're a coal miner or a laborer in a steel mill, you're probably doing more exercise at work for 8 hours than most people do in a gym every day.
