MFP gave me 1600 calories a week to lose 1lbs and my maintenance is 2054 calories ,so yesterday I ate 2,486 calories and so far today I have eaten 4,932 calories I know that 3500 calories = 1lbs but as I have been at a deficit will I gain anything ?

    probably not. Only two days of going over won't do that much damage. You might notice a slight, temporary bump if your are weighing on a digital scale, but i doubt it.

    In the short term, probably, but most of it will be water retention. It should come off fairly easy.

    I really wouldn't stress it. Going over your calories, be it maintenance or your deficit number, is something that happens from time to time. Just log it, learn from it, and move forward.

    Thanks ,I just worked it out myself ,took me about 20 minutes but in total I ate 184 calories over my maintenance so if you space it out that would be an additional 30.6 calories over my maintenance for 6 days ,if I stick to my deficit tomorrow I shouldn't gain any additional (lasting) weight
