Its usually in the first two weeks then the body twigs that the amount of calories has been reduced and so slows the metabolic rate down to burn less calories.
If you are just coming off of some weight loss, it should show up right away. Even though it takes time to convert the food you eat into muscle or fat, if you are replenishing your body's stores of energy, the scale should almost immediately (within two days) show a 5 pound gain (water plus simple sugars stored in the muscle). That should also be visible on your body, making you look a little more puffed out.
If the scale hasn't moved, I think you're still not eating a surplus of calories. Those calculators are a good general guideline but everybody's metabolism is a little different, and you apparently burn more than average. Try boosting your calories by another 200 or 300 and see if it goes up. Don't be shocked or scared by the weight gain in the first week (which might be up to 10 lbs). See what happens the second week. The second week will give you a better idea of how much weight you are actually gaining.
