How I Boosted My Metabolism: From 1,700 to 2,200 Calories/Day
12 science-backed practices that can turbo-charge your metabolism and help you burn fat
If I could have a superpower, I’d choose a “supermetabolism.”
To eat whatever I want without any adverse health and aesthetic effects.
Though I had appearance-based goals when I started my fitness journey, what primarily motivated me to embrace a fitter lifestyle was an intense desire to eat more.
You see, I’ve always loved eating. So when I learned that embracing certain habits allowed you to eat more, I was sold.
Now, of course there’s a limit to how much you can eat — especially after you achieve a lean physique. But being able to eat, even if just a little bit more, is always better than nothing (at least for me).
In my case, I went from consuming an average of 1,700 calories to 2,200 calories per day — a 29% increase — while also becoming leaner. And though 2,200 calories may not impress some, it’s considered the higher range for someone of my age, gender, height, and weight.
All I had to do was adopt 12 science-based practices that can help anyone boost their metabolism.
