Calories are a unit of measurement quantifying energy. The number of calories measure quantity, not quality. 200 calories of fruit or potato chips are both calories. But one will have a different impact on your body than the other. They can both give you more energy. But chances are that the calories gained from consuming the fruit will be gone sooner than the calories gained from the potato chips, since the sugar in the fruit would effectively cause greater activity and thus be "worked off" more easily and the rest processed quickly through the digestive process. The potato chips, on the other hand, may not have the same effect of giving the sugar-induced power-boost to cause activity and the digestive process is not as efficient due to all the artificial additives in the snack.
There is a very popular misconception that "more calories is worse for you." This is not necessarily true. Ask any professional athlete and they can tell you that they often consume more calories than people twice their weight. FAR more important than the QUANTITY of calories is the QUALITY of those calories (=the quality of the food and beverages containing the calories), along with lifestyle (workout schedule, etc).
