Yes. A calorie is a measurement of energy. That's all.
A calorie isn't good, bad, evil, healthy, unhealthy or any other subjective word you would like to use.
Just as a kilometre is a kilometre - a measure of distance, not good, evil etc. It just is.
If you are trying to debate the fact that some foods have greater nutritional value than others - that's a whole different matter.0 -
When it comes to weight loss yes.0

Seriously?
That's like asking if a pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle0 -
