    If your metabolism is actually slow, then it's a medical problem, to be corrected with prescribed medication.

    You cannot "boost" your metabolism. This is a weight loss myth perpetrated by people who want your money. Unless you have any of a number of SUPER RARE medical conditions that affect metabolic rate, your metabolism is what it is and you can control for intake and output of calories and that's it.

    ETA: If you mean "how can I make my body need more calories throughout the day" you can exercise and log it and eat 50% of those calories back, or you can do some heavy lifting and resistance training to build muscle. People with more muscles get to eat more than people with few muscles. That is the absolute extent of the power we have over our metabolism.

    You will burn more calories with more muscle mass, but you cannot "boost" metabolism.
