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

Raw calories are the big thing to track for weight loss, but it is important to remember that there are other things in food besides sugar and fat, like proteins, vitamins, and minerals. An apple might have just as many calories as a chocolate bar, but it will also (hopefully) have other things in it that are good for you, like fiber and various vitamins.
