    Some people seem to think their metabolism is like a volume dial on a radio, and they can just adjust it at will. Or like delicate crystal that shatters if you spend one day at calories under 1200.

    The only ways I know of to increase your metabolism are to get larger, get more active, gain more lean mass and/or fix any hypothyroidism.

    Technically, you will burn more calories the more you eat, in digestion, but it's a small percentage of what you eat. So don't add 100 calories of food to burn 10 extra in digesting it because the net effect is 90 calories above where you started.
