Calries v. Fat Calories- What are you suppose to look at/ which is most important to decrease?

Calries v. Fat Calories! What are you suppose to look at/ which is most important to decrease? I went to the store today and started buying some healthy foods, but I'm just wondering where you should really cut down on- fat calories or the calories. Thanks.

There are…
9 calories per 1 gram of fat
4 calories per 1 gram of protein
4 calories per 1 gram of carbohydrate
and I believe, 8 calories per 1 gram of alcohol

Basically they are measuring how much fat is in the food but telling you in calorie measure. So, it is basically the same as counting fat grams.

If you multiply the grams per fat, carbohydrates and protein by what I said above, you should get the number of calories.

Did I make any sense?
