Tangent isn't exactly right. by the time you actually eat your food, some has already been used so 1 kg of food will probably make you 0.9 kg heavier. As for calories, roughly 7920 calories equal a kg of extra weight.
If you exercise, then you use up the calories so the weight you put on decreases. Even if you do nothing but sleep all day you still lose some calories. There is no equation for calculating the amount of weight you put on while exercising.
Also, your metabolism also counts. Some lucky (or unlucky?) people go eating everything in sight while still not gaining a kg. It depends on your body.

Taking in an extra 7700 calories more than what you would normally eat will gain you a kg. In reality, weight gain is not this simple, and it has to do with your metabolic rate and activity levels, but this is the raw, average number.

Some will give you specific numbers; and that is meaningless.
the amount of calories it takes depends on your metabolism.
I know people that eat enough for three men, and never gain an ounce, I know others that eat 600 calories a day and gain weight because of a slow almost non existent metabolism.

3600 calories equals a pound. There is 2.2 kg per pound. So more than 7000. You can do the exact math

If you want to be a kg heavier, eat a kg of food.
If you want to keep it on, then there's no cut & dry answer.
