No: different substances have different densities, so for a given volume, two different substances will generally weigh different amounts.

A couple of examples should help illustrate this: ice floats in water as its density is low, whilst a lump of iron (effectively frozen liquid iron) would sink in water as its density is higher. If they were the same volume, the iron would weigh more.

This might be more complicated than your question indicates, but if you put the food into a container or plastic bag, the weight can't change.
