It is really good to know that you are on a fat loss diet. Typically a low carb, optimum protein and good amount of healthy fats can help you with your achieving your goals. Why do you want to compare calories. Because" a" calorie is not equal to" a" calorie. For eg comparing rice and wheat, if you take 30 gm of each both of them have 100 k cal but their absorbtion rate is different. Since wheat has more fibres than white rice, the absorbtion rate for wheat is much slower than white rice. Hence white rice will give a higher blood sugar spike and insulin spike than wheat and excess blood sugar at one time always converts to fat.
