As far as calories go, yes. However, as far as nutrients go, maybe not.
In a nutshell, you will benefit more in the long run if you get most of your calories from carbohydrates. 45-65% of your daily calories should be coming from carbohydrates.
You will want to select foods that have a high amount of nutrients per calorie. They are called "nutrient dense foods." Fat is high calorie (9 Calories per gram of fat), which means it will be harder to get as much nutrients with with a 100 Calorie spot of fatty food than it will be if you eat 100 Calories of carbohydrates.
