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

Well yes and no. Its a matter of happiness and preference. You’re likely to enjoy chocolate more than an apple. But an apple has more fiber, is better for your blood sugar, and will keep you feeling full for longer. If your goal is weight loss volume eating is important to keep you full and prevent snacking. But it won’t hurt to have a chocolate either.
