You won't gain but your diet is incredibly unhealthy and won't result in optimal function.

You should fuel your body with better foods. Eat foods that will allow your body to do it's job to the best of it's ability.

After your post yesterday and now this...... you really need to seek counseling. Please don't take offense as I mean this in the most unsnarky way possible, but you are headed on a very dangerous path.

MFP calculations are general and estimations and are great for those who have lots of weight to lose. You will NOT gain weight if you eat way over your carb allowance. Based on what you've written, I'm guessing you were probably around 150g carbs - if you include the apple and banana you're still around 200g!! This is not a significant amount of carbs.

You really need to adjust your diet, eat more calories, get more protein and not worry so much about the day to day possible weight gain!!

This could easily add up to 1200 calories. Her porridge could be 200 calories, two bagels could be 500-600 calories, a banana and an apple could add another 200 calories or so, and I'm assuming the dark chocolate was at least 50 calories a square (depending on size) so that could easily be another 300 calories.

I would estimate this at 1200-1300 calories.

That wasn't the point of my post!! While yes, the food she's had today could add up to 1200+ calories, its not enough as well as its not going to make her gain weight because she ate 200g of carbs in one day. But after her post yesterday she needs help and she needs to adjust her diet. Porridge, bagels and chocolate is not a very balanced diet by any means!!
