What do you eat in those extra 200 calories?
I sometimes binge on cheese and nuts or peanut butter when I'm not at my best, but even when I do this for weeks, and I'm talking an extra 2000 calories in a day which is easy with those things, I haven't gained weight (fat). I don't feel as good and I don't recommend it, but I think it's safer than eating sugar if one is going to binge. I had a couple years 10 years ago where I ate sweet things most days and did gain noticeable weight (fat). So it's not like I'm genetically not going to gain weight either.
As an aside, physical activity might not affect weight change as much but it will affect the fat/muscle ratio.

I record everything by weight when eating at home, and have a good feel for calories per unit weight, but double check often. Cheeses are about 100 cals per oz, breads or snacks with little fat (pretzels) are 80-100 cals per oz, nuts are dangerously calorific at 160-180 cal per oz. Peanut butter is the same. I eat nearly everything, both good and bad for me, but keep track of calories and it's been working for me. I do eat ice cream occasionally, with full awareness of how much. My calorie limit is a target, but I enjoy life. The only thing I've eliminated completely is alcohol.
