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

Protein takes more energy to convert into usable energy than a carbohydrate, so no a calorie is not a calorie. It can be useful as a general rule of thumb for weight loss but don’t use it as an exact metric
