I'm very paranoid to gain weight .. i wanna go from eating 1,060 calories to 1,100 but can that cause weight gain ? i'm 19 5'7 and 105 pounds

Not likely: Weight gain is dependent on the quality of your food, calories, as well as activity level, in addition to other variables. You are upping your intake by only 40 calories. If you are active and have a reasonable amount of lean muscle mass, you are not likely going to gain weight.BTW, currently per your BMI suggests you are underweight.

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?
