Best Answer

Since muscle burns about 8 times more calories than fat, having more lean tissue, or muscle, can increase the basal metabolic rate.

Another way of increasing your metabolic rate is by doing frequent exercise. As the body is going through the motions of exercise, the metabolic rate increases to supply energy to muscles through catabolism of sugars.

What effects the metabolic rate?

I'm assuming you mean Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Most conventional formulas to estimate BMR use your current weight, height, and age. With that, current weight and height increase your BMR while age decreases it. Other factors include lean body mass (increase) and gender (males typically have a higher BMR).
