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

It’s true that “calories are calories”, when it comes to weight loss, but some foods will keep you satisfied longer, and may make the caloric deficit easier to endure.
High-protein foods and complex carbs (beans, whole wheat, etc.) tend to keep you satiated longer.
