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

A lot of others have commented on the weight loss aspect, I’ll just make a quick mention on the psychological aspect.
I find it much harder to lose weight by eating a lesser amount of unhealthy food. Unhealthy food is generally more calorically dense, as you mentioned an apple is the same as a “small” candy bar. A regular snickers is like 210 calories.
Add onto that the sugar cravings you get and I find it so much tougher to continue with a diet when I’m eating unhealthy vs just eating healthy for a few days, losing that sugar craving, and then crushing the rest of the diet cus I’m not constantly craving calorically dense foods
