I have tried the search on this and I couldn't find anything.

But is a calorie a calorie.

I mean am I better to eat a subway 6 inch sub that has 10 grams of fat and 400 calories. Or will eating 2 Jr. Hamburgers with roughtly same contents be ok?

Its fast food so I know subway is better than the later...but I am just using this as example is 600 calories...600 calories or is there a difference in say 600 lean turkey calories vs 600 hamburger fast food calories??

Thanks
 
In terms of effects on weight gain/loss, maybe. In terms other health issues (like heart disease, cancer, stroke), most definitely. You wouldn't want to be taking in 600cals of one macronutrient at the expense of calories from other macronutrients. For example, if you had 600cals available to you as a fatty fried burger of questionable origin on a processed white bread bun, or 600cals as lean chicken breast on a whole grain bun, the latter (most likely Subway, or even better, homemade) would be the better choice.
