I started lifting and going to the gym like 6 days ago and was on a diet and logging all of my calories and what not in a program called MyNetDairy. I started with my weight 58.5 Kg and height 173cm.
I am a skinny dude but on the lower edge of the BMI of being healthy weight, borderline underweight, However, I did have a little bit of fat around my belly like I wasn't totally skinny with only skin and bone.
I am gaining around 0.4 Kg daily, I weigh myself first thing when I wake up after taking a sh!t.
Day 1: 3071 Calories, 120g Fat (26g Sat), 330g carb, 195g protein.
Day 2: 3071 Calories, 120 Fat (26g Sat), 330g Carb, 195 Protein.
Day 3: 3485 Calories, 127g Fat (25g Sat), 391g Carb, 213 Protein.
Day 4: 3193 Calories, 112g Fat (22g Sat), 407g Carb, 161 Protein.
Day 5: 3031 Calories, 98g Fat (26g Sat), 359g Carb, 188 Protein.
Day 6: 3034 Calories, 90g Fat (25g Sat), 369 Carb, 199 Protein.
Weight at 7th day morning: 61.2 Kg
Now I don't have a device that I can weigh my food with so I was making educated guesses at how much I was eating.Btw I've been going to the gym each single day.
During these 6 days I gained 2.7KG, and I don't really know if its all fat or muscle so yeah wtf is happening, is this normal?

If you just started eating more than it will be water weight, glycogen, more food in system, some fat, some muscle; I'd recommend getting a scale to more accurately track intake, you are likely far off.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.
1/13/16: Massive hernia.
5/10/16: Finally back to lifting, light but improving.

Most of my food comes in a box or a protein shake anyway so there isn't much to weigh really. cereals in the morning, a shake at launch and 3 wholemeal bread slices.
Go to the gym, then a protein shake when I finish another 3 whole meal bread slices at dinner. Cereals at night (I know, I know) and eat a bunch of raw almonds throughout the day as a snack (maybe a 100 of them)

At 58 kg it's unlikely you need >3000 calories to gain weight, unless you're extremely active.
I suggest reading the sticky: how to calculate macros.Recommended science based fitness & nutrition information:

You can plug your diet into cronometer.com to see if you are lacking anything.
Lots of people live long lives with terrible diets. That doesn't mean their health wouldn't be improved if they ate more optimally. You said you're borderline underweight. Do you think that's ideal?
As for your 2.7kg weight increase, it'll mostly be water weight if you're close to estimating calories correctly. You're not going to gain much skeletal muscle in 6 days. You're not going to gain much fat in 6 days if you aren't eating very much above your TDEE.
