This has been on my mind since I've started watching the show.
Why does Luna worry about Usagi gaining weight?
I understand that being overweight might be considered unprincess-like. Usagi is to become a beautiful queen of the future and that Luna is trying to get her ready for that. Still I think that she might have been worrying too much about it. This is especially taking into consideration the possibly rather large amount of exercize that she and the other senshi get transforming, fighting, and the extra exercize Usagi herself gets when running to school when she is late.
One more question.
Does Luna worry about Usagi's weight as much in the manga?

I think Luna keeps telling Usagi she'll get fat just to pick on her. Remember the drawing she did of chubby Usagi in episode 4? That was just more teasing than anything else.
Luna also probably does it out of concern because Usagi's eating habits aren't exactly healthy.

That makes sense. It is true that her eating habits aren't healthy and Luna must worry. Even so, I'd imagine with all the exercise she gets from the things mentioned above, she would be burning large amounts of calories. How many calories would each activity burn? I'm guessing the two largest would be fighting and running.

Perhaps she is among the many with high matabolisims. That could explain why she eats all those sweets and never gains weight. Besides, it appears she can eat as unhealthy as she wants, as she'll be living for 1000 years+.
All I can say is, if she has that good of matabolisim, I'd love to be able to have that kind of matabolisim.

That is a good thought. The exercise she gets probably enhances her metabolism as well.

She takes care of that through exercise. Think of all the running to school, fighting monsters and transforming she has to do.

However, Freya, the views we see Crystal Tokyo, in peaceful times, seems like there aren't any signs of sickness or the like. So, I perosnally think they may have found some way to keep illness down. Just a thought.

If nobody ever gets old or sick, but people still keep making babies, won't there be a lot of trouble very quickly with overpopulation?

That's a good question. There might be something to that in the reason why the Black Moon Clan separated from the Moon kingdom. I read on The Oracle that that was the case.

Score
Black Moon Clan: 1 Moon Kingdom: 0

*headdesk* I can't believe no one thought about that.

So, could we say the Black Moon clan was actually doing the world a favor, in the past? Maybe to a slight extent. Maybe the Black Moon clan really weren't evil, just misunderstood.

First of all, if I remember right the death phantom came around and in his way corrupted the rest of the people so in a way they did start out good. They just didn't accept the Silver Crystal and the purification that could have kept them living for a long time. I imagine that the planet Nemesis was like a colony used to push out those who didn't accept the crystal's power and not the now evil planet that the death phantom rules. Of course this all could be wrong I didn't research that much into this andmy memory of this part of the story is probably fragmented at best.

Hey, when Usagi becomes Neo Queen Serenity in the future, I doubt she runs around nearly as much as she does as a senshi. Maybe she'll get fat then? In the manga, did Usagi become queen at age 22? If that's the case than in Sailormoon land she's been queen for a while.

That is true. Especially considering what Diana says about the king and queen making excuses to sleep in.
It is possible that She gets at least a little chunky at least for a while. I know the Silver Crystal can keep a person young for a long time if not forever but I don't know about those aspects of physical appearance.
Also I heard that she gets married at 22 in the manga as well. While she does have a lot of time she probably was still very busy purifying people and doing other things for the future. I don't know though.
