Yes, calories are used for fuel by your body. However, if you consume them in excess, the excess will turn into fat to make you overweight. One pound of fat equals 3500 calories. Because you have to eat more calories than you burn, you would have to eat 3500 extra calories over a seven-day period before gaining one lb. of fat. That equals 500 extra calories a day.
