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

Some food still have different nutrients in them. It’s not just that you need 2000 calories, but also that you need a mix of proteins, sugar, fats, and fiber; that you need various vitamins and minerals.
Even if the apple and chocolate have the same calories, the apple offers vitamins and fiber that the chocolate does not.
