Metabolism is the amount of energy our body burns to maintain itself. It is essentially the speed at which our body’s motor is running. The speed at which our body burns calories is called the metabolic rate.

The metabolism is based on the number of calories we burn throughout the day. Our body constantly burns calories to keep us going whether we are eating, sleeping, cleaning etc. Once the daily business of breathing, eating, moving and other activities is met, any unused or surplus calories get stored, mostly in the form of fat. This means that if you take in more calories than you use, you will gain weight.
