10 Ways to Increase Metabolism
Metabolism Booster #2: Eat More Protein
Protein is a very important source of energy when it comes to increasing your metabolism because it takes the most amount of energy and the longest to burn. It can even increase post-meal calorie burning by as much as 35 percent. Fiber is next in line. These foods have a unique power that increases your BMR.
Protein needs differ by individual. Typically, it is recommended to consume 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight to promote weight loss. That would mean that a 145lb individual who is 66kg, would need 53 grams of protein per day.
