Depends on your BMI: It depends on your weight and height and bmi. If your daily caloroes requirement which is your basal metabolic rate+calories consumed by daily activities is 1500 only to maintain your weight as it is.Then you will see some gain in weight over long period of time but most adults require more than 1500 calories daily to maintain their weight to neutral.
