What’s the difference between calories and fat calories?
Why does it matter if calories are regular or fat calories? Aren’t they all going to become fat anyway? So, if I had two granola bars–one with 100 calories and the other with 70 calories and 30 fat calories–wouldn’t they be the same?

A calorie is a calorie no matter what the source.
However it is the calorie concentration which can affect the total calorie intake .
carbohydrate and protein each produce 4 cals/gram
fat produces 9 cals/gram
If you take too many calories from whatever source they are stored as fat

It’s important to figure out how many of the calories you’re getting come from fat. U.S. dietary guidelines recommend that the average person gets no more than 30% of all his or her daily calories from fat. But food labels don’t always show the percentage of fat in a food. It is easy to calculate, though. Divide the number of calories from fat by the number of total calories and multiply by 100.
So fat makes quite a difference when it comes to total calories in a food.
But let’s face it, who’s going to choose a heaping bowl of cooked carrots over ice cream on a hot summer day? It all comes down to making sensible food choices most of the time. The goal is to make trade-offs that balance a higher-fat food with foods that are lower in fat to keep the fat intake at 30% for the day. So if you really want that ice cream, it’s OK once in a while – as long as you work in some lower-fat foods, like carrots, that day.

Answer to ur question is built in ur question itself. What counts is the total calory content.
