If I eat a pound of food but it doesn't equal 3500 calories, will I still gain a pound?

Intially sure but during the digestion it will go down.

if that were the case calories would be meaningless and packages would state weight instead

If you weighed yourself. Ate the pound of food, then weighed yourself again. Yes.

But that just means you have 1 pound of food in your intestines.

What % of that is converted into actual 'bodyweight' depends on your overall calorie intake, what the food was, how much was digested etc etc...
