The butter won't make him fat but the pasta will.

Calories in/calories out. Butter is fat and some sugar and protein. Pasta is mostly carbs. But they all become calories, and if you eat more calories than you burn, they will be stored as fat.

The poster above is correct thay sugar is the easiest for your body to turn into calories, and carbs are basically complex sugars. Fat is also fairly easy for your body to convert to calories, and it is usually more dense. Protein is the hardest, but even protein will make you fat if you eat enough of it.

If you want to lose weight, burn more calories than you consume. Everything else is nuance.

As someone who’s quit sugar and vegetable oils: this food will have more calories with the butter, but it will keep full for longer
