I'm 5'5" and 122 lbs. So today I ate around 1320 calories when I usually only eat 1200. Over the past couple of weeks, I didn't feel like logging all of my exercise so I just put myself as "active". But this week, I changed it back to sedentary because I haven't been exercising. Usually I wouldn't worry about me eating a little over my limit, because of all the walking I was doing over my campus and the dance class I was in last month. Buut now, since I'm not doing any of that, I'm worried I'm going to gain weight.

    You're within the normal weight for your height so why are you on such a low calorie diet? 120 calories is nothing. It takes 3500 calories to gain a lb. a week (or lose it). So, you'd have to eat 500 calories extra a day to put on weight.
