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. If health was a video game nutirition has 2 stat categories.
Calories
Macro Nutrients
Calories keep your character moving and macro nutrients give passive stat increases.
But too many and too few calories causes a big stat nerf that undoes almost all the passive stats.
So most people recommend focusing on calories first, then nutients because you only really get the nutrient benefits if the calories are on point overall.
You can min/max it but any complications often results in worse consistency
