No, you won’t gain any weight because the result will be uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea.

You might even lose weight.

Weight gain has nothing to do with the weight of foods you eat but instead the calories they contain, the amount absorbed, and how those things end up being integrated into the body (fat, muscle, connective tissue, bone, etc)
