Is eating 70 calories of white bread the same as eating 70 calories of whole grain bread in terms of weight loss?

This question is driving me absolutely insane because there is a MASSIVE variety of answers, especially on reddit. I’m asking - is a calorie a calorie?

I’m not asking how filling something is or how nutritious it is, I’m asking if you eat the same calorie of white and whole grain bread, will you lose the same amount of weight?

It seems there are 2 schools of thought on reddit: 1) people who believe that sugar consumed is not digested or “burned” as normal calories are but instead converted to fat 2) people who believe all calories are equal and often cite people who lost weight by eating junk food

Which is it? Why is there SO much confusion on this topic? I feel like this might be the #1 most important mystery to deconstruct since the entirety of weight loss is about CICO. How can we follow CICO if we can’t determine what “kind” calorie something is or how it will be used in the body?
