Question

If you don't eat a lot, and you don't feel full, but you have a lot of calories, will you still gain weight?

Answer 1

Well, it kind of depends on how many excess calories you are eating every day. If you have one high-calorie meal its probably not going to make you gain weight. But if you had a really high-calorie meal every day then maybe.

When I am really hungry, I go for lower calorie choices. That way, I can eat more and feel full...but not have too many calories.  

Answer 2

I would say yes. Calories is what determines if you will gain weight, not feeling full. You could eat a bunch of fiber with few calories and your stomach would feel full. Fat (like butter say) is a calorie dense food, so just a little bit will go a longer way to making you fat, without making you feel full at all.
