If they equal the same amount of calories does it matter what food I eat?

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

There are a lot of good points made already. To add to them: Dependent of the type of energy (Sugar/fat/Protein), it takes different times to completely absorb the energy. Raw sugar can be processed incredibly fast. If you consume longer chains of sugar, like flour, it takes much longer. So by drinking a coke with lots of sugar, you will get hungry really fast again, as al of the energy is gone.
