There are very few foods that have no nutrients whatsoever, but still have calories. More foods would fall into the range that they contain calories, but very little nutrients. These are known as "empty calories", meaning that they really do not help for the body. Some examples of these would be fried foods, refined sugars / starches, bleanced flours, and high-fat foods (like butter and lard).

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.
No food by itself can make you lose weight. Eat nutrient dense foods (foods high in nutrients and low in calories) and exercise daily.
