Would i have difficulty gaining weight from eating whatever if i have a high metabolism, and i workout regularly (i even have around 10% body fat)?

Get a plan: If you are below your ideal body weight, you need to think about what you eat and get the right number of calories in the right foods to achieve your goal. On the other hand, you're probably ok and 10% body fat is low but not dangerous. Eat good foods, not junk, and you'll be fine.

Hard to tell: It's hard to tell whether you will or not. If you ingest more calories than what you spend, then you will gain weight. I want to warn you to avoid "unhealthy" calories such as those coming from fast foods, carbonated drinks, snacks, etc.

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?
