Answers: spread your meals out so that your eating every 2-3 hours. this way your metabolism gets trained to keep working to burn calories throughout the day. don't eat more food than you do now just don't eat it all at once. and eat the majority of your daily calories durring the day rather than for dinner. that way you can burn more from physival activity. never starve yourself. ALWAYS eat if your hungry. the worst thing you can do to your metabolism is put it in starvation-mode. eat right and good luck! :)

if at all possible, eat like 5 smaller meals instead of 3 big ones..
-but if you can't do that...the best way is by activity and adding muscle...muscle cells burn fat calories much much faster than any other, and the larger your muscle cells become, the more they can metabolize. Your only 13 so no heavy stuff...but pushups situps and curls should be good for you

- also, the more lean foods you eat...like steak, grilled chicken, fish, stuff like that...the more food you will be able to metabolize as that helps feed muscle.

hope i helped

Metabolism is essentially the speed at which our body's motor is
running. The speed at which our body burns calories is called the metabolic
rate. It's how fast your motor is running when you're still in a
reclined position or sleeping. About 60-75% of energy is expended by the
body at rest in such activities.

The metabolism is based on the number of calories we burn throughout
the day. Our body constantly burns calories to keep us going whether we
are eating, sleeping, cleaning etc. People with a lower percentage of
body fat (i.e. muscular) have a higher metabolism than others that are
less muscular because muscle uses more calories to maintain itself than
fat. Some people have a slower metabolic rate and have a harder time
staying slim. Younger persons have higher (faster) metabolism because of
the increased activity of cells. A slow metabolism actually causes to
store fat. The slower the metabolic rate, the greater the weight gains.
How to build muscles to improve metabolism? What type of exercise is
ideal that speed up metabolism so that you burn calories even at rest or
sleep? There are simple exercises that speed up the metabolism.

Causes for Low Metabolism

* Fasting
* A low calorie diet
* Snacking throughout the day on high sugared foods (candy, colas,
cakes, gum).
* Eating or drinking too much sugar containing foods.
* Lack of physical activity.
* Underactive thyroid.

Metabolism Boosters

There are some natural metabolism boosters (natural foods) that
improves your metabolism. Do not take over the counter pills containing animal
thyroid extract that claim to boost up metabolism. These products may
have side effects as diarrhea, increased heart rate, excessive
sweating, nervousness, tremors, bulging eyes, etc.

How to Improve (Speed up) Metabolism

* Do not skip any meals
* Exercise daily
* Build your muscles
* Avoid alcohol, sugar, and fastings
*Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
*Eat foods with high nutrition values
