If they equal the same amount of calories does it matter what food I eat?

I am cutting down my calories at the moment to lose a bit of weight. I had an apple last night for a snack and when I tracked it on my calorie tracker app I realised it was pretty much the same amount of calories as a small chocolate bar. Does this mean that if I’m trying to lose weight I might as well be having the chocolate bar instead?

Obviously there is more fat in a chocolate bar but when I Googled it it said you should focus on calories more than fat

Two things on focus – lower calorie foods and feeling full.

The hardest part about dieting is the hunger.

Take 10-20 mins per meal, 20-30 chews per bite and make sure you variety of tastes & textures in your food.

Use protein because it’s filling & muscle sparing meaning you’ll prioritise fat loss when in a negative calorie balance.
