The majority of daily caloric expenditure is not in the time spent exercising but in the total energy expenditure during 24 hours. Approximately 3,500 calories equals a pound of body fat, so to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week you must maintain an average caloric deficit of 500 to 1,000 calories per day. However, a person may burn 250 calories from exercise and spend the rest of the day participating in sedentary activities. Calories that are not used for energy production are stored as fat. Therefore, a person can eat 100 calories a day more then what their body needs to maintain, and in the course of 35 days, theoretically they will gain a pound of fat. Even a mere 10 extra calories a day over daily maintenance needs could add up to a 1 pound of weight gain over 350 days!
My Advice,
Figure out what your RMR(Resting metabolic rate)
http://shapeup.org/resting-metabolic-rate-calculator/ <--- copy and paste that in your url to get a rough idea of what your RMR.
Second! Increase activity levels and make sure you drink enough water. Try to drink at least one gallon of water a day.
Third, Keep track and write down around how many calories your eating and weigh yourself every morning.
And Yes, you can eat whatever you want and as long as you're in a caloric deficiency you will cut weight. However, don't make most your meals nutrient poor make sure your consuming nutrient rich food at-least 90% of the time. That's my take on it.
