Ehhhh sorta kinda. If you eat a more "natural" diet (read: not super processed) then the two are pretty closely linked. But we've invented entirely new foods that basically gives you zero satiety, but also has hundreds and hundreds of calories.

You can eat to satiety on carrots and spinach, and literally starve to death from lack of calories. You can also feel hungry all day and gain weight from drinking soda and eating cookies.
