Eat a high protein breakfast. Your metabolism can increase by 30 percent for as long as 12 hours from a high protein meal, which is the calorie burning equivalent of a two to three mile jog. A high carbohydrate breakfast such as juice, cereal, waffles, pancakes, or bagels does not enhance metabolic rate more than 4 percent, especially when eaten with little protein. This rule is especially important for individuals who struggle with energy, food cravings, and/or body weight.
