So in other words, if you just ate fruit, could you go fat.

Yes, as long as you consumed more calories than you needed to
maintain your present weight at your present activity level
(roughly 15 calories per pound for most people).

In practice, because most fruits aren't very calorie-dense,
you'd have to eat an awful lot of fruit to consume that many
calories. However, if you drank a lot of fruit juices, which
are much more calorie-dense than the fruits themselves (e.g.
one glass of orange juice amounts to the juice of four or five
oranges, and the juice is where all the calories are) you
could reach that point.
