I had a massive cheat day/binged and ate 2000 calories over my maintenance, it was the first time this has happened

What will the effect/damage be?

I know that 3500 calories over your maintenance is needed to gain a lb of fat but would those 2k extra calories turn into \~ half a lb of fat?

It should also be noted that I live a very active lifestyle.... 90-100k steps weekly, 4x hard training sessions at the gym and so I caved in at the end and binged, also I usually eat at maintenance, not deficit or anything

My goal isn't even to lose weight but to gain muscle which scares me that continuing on my maintenance calories will give those extra 2k calories leeway into turning to fat while
