no. at least, i don't think so. lets say you eat donuts adding up to 1 kg of mass (it's weight would be 2.2 lbs, but kgs work easier for this example, i think). 9 fat calories weigh 1 gram. 1 pound of fat would be 3500 caloreies, so 1 kg would be about 1600 calories. basically, if you ate a donut made of 100% fat, you would gain whatever amount of that fat that wasn't burned.
therefore, if you ate a 1kg donut, you would be eating 9000 calories. which would translate into about 6 kg's worth of fat in the human body, so... i guess i'm wrong. you would gain more...
i guess you could gain more based on how the energy is stored in food vs. how it is stored as human fat.
anyone else got any ideas on this?
