Metabolism is particularly important for any sport because it affects performance good or bad. To manage and change your metabolism than you have to understand some basic factors that influence it. There are three major factors that affect and determine what kind of metabolism you have, and they are:

- Genetic factors;
- Eating habits;
- Training.

Think about how much control of metabolism, given that genetics is one of the factors that determine your metabolism, you can influence it remains only. But it is enough to use eating habits and workouts to major influence metabolism.

Eating habits:

Analyze some basic aspects of food from the following questions:

- Have a balanced diet?
- You are having breakfast every morning?
- Eat little and often?
- You wont eat at night?

To know your own metabolism and how your body reacts to food (food type, frequency tables, the amount of food, etc..) Is particularly important for any athlete that wants to improve performance, be it an amateur or a professional athlete. As a general rule, eat often in small amounts is beneficial for any athlete compared to eating often and in large quantities. When you eat less often and keep a constant level of glucose in the blood, which means you will have energy throughout the day, whenever you need it.

It is therefore recommended to have three main meals, which add two snacks. If caloric needs required by your training program is higher (eg you want to gain weight) then you can consider another meal or snack before meals recommended as a general rule. For example, an athlete who needs 2,000 calories a day will divide this amount in 5 meals, that each 400 calories at each meal, and will not eat the 2,000 calories in 2-3 meals.

When you eat, calories induce a process of heat in body type, that increase metabolism to process food to be digested and assimilated. You realize that if you eat here more often this process is repeated and that means a faster metabolism in general. Another aspect that deserves to know is that at each meal your body burns calories ingested part of digestion, and here mention that food with high protein content (chicken, beef, fish, eggs, milk protein concentrates) are body use more calories in the digestive process than foods high in carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, pasta, fruit).

Eating more often provide an influx consatnt body of nutrients that the body can use it more efficiently, whenever needed. As the amount of food at a table, note that the body can use only the amount it needs, and any surplus will be deposited as fat. It is better to eat weighted amounts of food to leave the body to use and start receiving it again when he needs fed. Familiarize your body to eat in this way help him more efficiently use calories from food. It is also important to keep constant mealtimes so you will be hungry at regular intervals, about this time of meals, avoiding hunger caused by too much distance between table and showing that blood glucose levels fell too much, in which case the body, instead of using external food resources, turn to their reserves and entering a catabolic state, which adversely affects the maintenance of a good muscle tone. Both in terms of practical and scientific point of view, athletes who have regular meals in their diet and muscle tone keeps much better compared to those who do not eat at regular intervals, skipping breakfast or over other meal. For better digestion and assimilation efficiency of food avoid eating in a hurry to give a plate of food ready in a minute. I need to eat slowly, chew well if you want to take advantage of nutrients from food and not to overload the digestive system.

Eat protein at every meal.

The custom of eating protein at every meal is good for several reasons, first you have a feeling of fullness for a longer period of time because proteins take longer to digastie carbohydrates. Eating protein sources like chicken, beef, fish, eggs or dairy you can enter the body and a small amount of fat, which, with a little olive oil or olive oil are sufficient to ensure your fat. Eating protein and fat prevent sudden changes in blood sugar levels and consequently the decrease of energy.

When taking a meal carbohydrates it contains only the immediate reaction will be sharp increase in blood sugar levels and increased insulin secretion, leading to a further decrease in energy levels, and feel so exhausted mentally and physically. Add protein to each meal, along with fibers from plant sources, such as broccoli, cauliflower, salad, cabbage, etc..

Avoid eating before bedtime and wake up at night to eat, not to make exesul calories as fat.

Multivitamin supplements - multimineral for athletes is welcome to stimulate metabolism.

Influence of exercise on metabolism:

Check that:

Do between 3-5 times per week? If you want to have a fast metabolism must train for at least 3 times a week or more often.

Did your training intensity high enough? Strength training is an important factor in stimulating metabolism, make your workouts intense and you really see results.

Avoid training routine? It remains locked in a standard training, exercises regularly and change your training program to stimulate the body permanently and musculatura.Combini exercises in the gym with aerobic type exercise? Do not limit yourself to strength exercises, aerobic training (running, jumping rope and any other similar effort) is complementary to the gym. Studies show that burn more calories if you incorporate in your training program so exerciciile weights and specific aerobic training.
