How can something be 0 calories?

If it has no : Carbohydrates/sugars, protein or fat, then it has no calories. Examples are water, tea (w/o sugar), black coffee. This means it is not a source of energy for the body, but in the case of water, is still absolutely essential for life.

Ive been working out (boxing and Pilates), as well as walking for 3 weeks. Ive always had a very poor metabolism (or at least difficulty losing weight), but I havent lost even one pound. I am fine with slow progress, but not zero progress. My concern is that I might not be taking in enough calories for my size. Im 56 and 291 pounds. Ive been eating between 950-1100 calories a day. Thanks for your help. Nutrition concern?
