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

To answer your question directly?
No. A dude lived on gas station food for like 90 days to prove it, but he was heavily vitamin deficient at the end of the experiment.
. I believe the same experiment was done with fast food, but again, I recall there being complications at the end of the experiment. (I think blood pressure?)
To answer your question in a real world way?
Calories and macronutrients are a complex science, and often misunderstood. Your goals are likely best met by figuring out what method of dieting is most *sustainable* for you in the long term.
