What Are Foods That Increase Basic Metabolic Rate Or Burn Calories?
Hot chilies (jalepeno, habanero, cayenne) will generally raise your metabolic rate for up to three hours after eating them. Caffeine will raise your heart rate and metabolic rate (and is good to take before exercise–you won’t seem to be working as hard, and you have a good chance of burning more calories with what you do). Green tea will also increase metabolism.
