Your metabolism may be to blame. As we age, metabolism slows down, mostly because we start to lose about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/0-22422\/6-super-easy-ways-to-boost-your-metabolism-after-40-yes-its-possible.html\"><span class=\"s2\">0.5 percent of muscle mass every year<\/span><\/a>, and that mass is responsible for burning calories. But don\u2019t worry: There are ways to boost your metabolism without hitting the gym for hours on end.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>What is Metabolism? <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/in-depth\/metabolism\/art-20046508\">Metabolism<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> is the chemical process in which the body converts food into energy. The number of calories a person\u2019s body needs to perform basic functions is called basal metabolic rate (BMR). There are several factors that can influence BMR, including body size and composition (those with more muscle burn more calories), gender (men tend to have less body fat and more muscle), and age (muscle mass decreases with age). Weight gain is the result of taking in more calories than you burn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A slower metabolism can start as early as your twenties; that\u2019s when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/lifestyle\/wellness\/basal-metabolic-rate-changes-as-you-age\/2013\/03\/05\/d26b1c18-80f1-11e2-a350-49866afab584_story.html\"><span class=\"s2\">bone stops growing<\/span><\/a>. After this age, the metabolic rate decreases by two percent or more per decade, which may be why some of us notice a few extra pounds even though diet and physical activity has been consistent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Not all weight gain can be attributed to a slow metabolism. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/weight-loss\/in-depth\/metabolism\/art-20046508\"><span class=\"s2\">It\u2019s a combination<\/span><\/a> of diet, genetics, hormones, physical activity, and stress. But being more active\u2014even if that means just fidgeting more\u2014can help burn more calories and reduce the risk of weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>How to Boost Metabolism<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Calorie Intake<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As BMR decreases each decade, we need to consume fewer calories for energy. But consuming too little can have unintended consequences. If you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redbookmag.com\/body\/health-fitness\/advice\/a40\/speed-metabolism-yl\/\"><span class=\"s2\">crash diet<\/span><\/a> and drop a large amount of calories from your usual daily intake, your body assumes you\u2019re starving and will slow down your BMR to preserve energy. Losing any amount of weight, whether intentional or unintentional, slows down metabolism slightly. A crash diet may result in a drop in weight, but it is typically temporary. Decreased calorie intake can lead peoples\u2019 bodies to burn fewer calories and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/ss\/slideshow-boost-your-metabolism\"><span class=\"s2\">gain weight faster<\/span><\/a> than before a diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So how much should you consume? Though it\u2019s not an exact calculation, you can multiply your current weight by 11 to lose around a half pound to two pounds per week. So a 140-pound person who wants to lose weight should aim for around 1,540 calories a day. Don\u2019t drop below 1,200 calories a day\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.redbookmag.com\/body\/health-fitness\/advice\/a40\/speed-metabolism-yl\/\"><span class=\"s2\">research shows<\/span><\/a> women who consume less than that had their resting metabolic rate plummet by 45 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Bump up Protein Intake<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/0-22422\/6-super-easy-ways-to-boost-your-metabolism-after-40-yes-its-possible.html\">Protein is the building block<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> of muscle mass so it\u2019s a good idea to eat a variety of protein sources to equal about 20 grams per meal. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oprah.com\/health\/How-to-Increase-Your-Metabolism-All-Day\/3\"><span class=\"s2\">Digesting protein<\/span><\/a> uses more energy than digesting carbohydrates or fat. Variety is key; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/0-22422\/6-super-easy-ways-to-boost-your-metabolism-after-40-yes-its-possible.html\"><span class=\"s2\">research shows<\/span><\/a> animal protein can actually speed muscle loss. Along with lean meat, add legumes and grains, such as beans, lentils, asparagus, quinoa, and buckwheat, into your diet. Eat a protein-packed breakfast such as hard-boiled eggs or Greek yogurt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Love smoothies? Add a scoop of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2014\/07\/30\/boost-metabolism-fast-right-now_n_5613974.html\"><span class=\"s2\">whey protein powder<\/span><\/a> to the mix.

If you tend to drink several cups of coffee throughout the day, try switching one out for a cup of green tea in the afternoon.
