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

Yes. Because vitamins and minerals matter and the macro breakdown of your calories matter as well.
Now if you have issues gaining weight and are looking to gain weight, that’s when you can stop worrying about what you’re eating so much (just don’t go overboard with sugar or anything) and just eat.
But yea definitely start learning what benefits eating certain foods have. There’s a book called superfoods I believe which while not being the gospel, will help you with creating a diet for yourself.
