Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): It is the amount of calories we use to stay alive and function our internal organs. It works even when we are lying down or sleeping. BMR accounts most part for calorie burn in an average person. BMR counts 60% for calorie burn in an average person.

Burn calories from daily activity: It is calorie burned by giving energy for daily activity in outsiide activities such as lifting your leg, arms. It accounts 30% of all calorie burning.

Dietary Thermogenesis: It is the energy used to digest food and used in digestion system.

Tips to speed up metabolism and speed up the rate of burning calories:

Build Muscle: Muscles building increase the metabolism in the body.  For each and every extra pound of muscles, you need extra 50 calories per day. Also, regular workout of muscle building workout boost metabolism and keep it at healthy level.

Keep moving: As we know and average person use 30% of its calorie in daily activity, many people who have sedentary lifestyle uses just 15-20% calories. One can increase it by some extra movements. For example, swinging legs, drumming fingers, changing position, taping your feet. Also try to use stairs instead of elevator.

Eat Spicy food: Spicy Vegetable food such as chilli can increase metabolism rate.

Green tea: Caffeinated drinks can increase metabolism rate. Green tea can increase metabolism  too. It also decrease hunger and so it helps lower the intake of calories.

Aerobic Exercise: High intensity aerobic exercises makes your metabolism high. It also makes you burn more calories.
