Yes, you can gain weight if you eat too many calories total, no matter which type of calorie (fat, carb, or protein). However, fat counts for 9 calories per gram wheras carbs and protein are 4 calories per gram. So you can (and should) eat plenty of complex carbs and lean protein, while keeping fat intake down, and not worry about gaining weight.
