How do you know if your metabolism is fast or slow?

I'm still not sure how many calories I should eat. I eat til I'm satisfied but the number at the end of the day is always lower than the numbers I crunched (BMR+exercise). Just listen to my body? Could it be that my metabolism is slow? How do I find that out for certain?

The difference in a fast/slow metabolism is roughly 200-300 calories.
