If you intake more calories than you expend, you will gain weight. If you expend more calories than you intake, you will lose weight. It isn't exactly that simple, though. For example, 2000 calories in fruits and vegetables are considerably better for you than an equal number of calories in Carbonated Beverages. Calories matter - both those expended and those taken in. If you are at the correct weight for your height and continuously eat more calories than you expend, you will soon be overweight. And if you continuously eat fewer calories than you expend, you will soon be underwieght.
A calorie is just a measure of heat or energy. All things being equal: if you are consuming more energy than you are expending, you will gain weight. If you are consuming less energy than you are expending, you will lose weight. If the amount consumed equals the amount expended, you will neither gain nor lose weight.
