With a degustation you'll probably have quite a few courses. 9, 10 maybe more. Maybe matching wines.
If you are just fine dining you will get larger portions but will still go starter, entree, main course, dessert.
The portions are small because you cannot eat that much. The prices are high because at a good restaurant they are serving food that is hard to make and they do it well.
A lot of fine food can be very rich. So I am not sure about not ingesting too many calories. Perhaps relative to eating an entire pizza on my own. But not to eating a regular balanced meal.
