    Probably nothing. What is your target?

    As a one day thing, it probably won't have much affect.

    2100 per day or 2100 total?
    1lbs fat = 3500cal.

    8400

    Presumably 8400 is your goal for losing weight? What is your weekly goal? If you goal is to lose a pound a week, that 8400 would be 3500 below maintenance, so eating 2100 above your goal would mean you're still in a deficit, and should still lose between a quarter and a half pound of fat. But the smaller your deficit, the more subject it is to being swamped by fluctuations in water weight and the weight of food/waste in your digestive tract. Don't freak out if you gain a little weight. Weight does not always equal fat.

    2100÷7=300 calories "extra" per day
    1200+300=1500 calories per day

    1500 calories isn't a large amt. Age/weight/height/activity level??? Are you trying to lose/gain?

    ETA: Did you eat all of those calories in 1 sitting??

    I’m trying to maintain and I’m only 4”11 and desk job only get about 3000 steps a day and about 300 extra a day

    300 extra what? Exercise calories? Then you ate at maintenance for your TDEE.

    300 extra calories over my 1200 so I ate 1500 calories a day

    Worst case scenario, if that didn't include your exercise, you gained .6 pounds of fat -- so not even a pound.

    Best case scenario, you ate at maintenance, and you maybe will have some water retention, but nothing to worry about.

    The SailRabbit BMR/TDEE calculator puts someone with your stats at a sedentary TDEE of 1315 calories -- so if anything, you likely overate to the tune of 185 calories a day. That's not even .4 pounds gained.
