A good way for you to boost your metabolism is by having frequent meals throughout the day. Eating 5-6 meals (3 large ones which would be breakfast, lunch and dinner and then 2 smaller ones which would be snacks) through out the day help balance your metabolism and your blood sugar.
For breakfast you can eat cereal that has a good amount of fiber and protein like Kashi Go Lean, paired with blueberries or bananas and non fat milk.
For snacks you can have celery sticks or carrots with hummus, whole wheat pita with either hummus or peanut butter, apples, oranges, 100 calorie packs and milk, yogurts, or even some mixed nuts. All of these things are good since you can have fiber, and have protein.
Lunches are simple. Salads with some lean protein like turkey or chicken, and nuts are good. You can even have a regular sandwich like turkey on whole wheat or whole grain bread, then have an apple with a sugar free jello or chewy granola bar.
Have a snack in between lunch and dinner. For ideas see snacks above.
And eat dinner like you regularly do. Either pasta, tomato sauce and meat sauce, or even a hamburger.
Eating these meals through out the day help stabalize blood sugar, and keep your metabolism high.
Try doing something like cardio. Running, even walking around helps keep your heart rate up which in turn helps you metabolism.

Well, I just thought of my mom's diet when I read your question. She had a pretty slow metabolism, and so she paid $250 for a weight loss thing, and the first 6 weeks she had to eat a strict diet of 5 meals a day to reset her metabolism. She ate 2 egg whites, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, and 12 fl. oz of water for breakfast; 2 oz. of chicken, 1/2 of an apple, and 12 fl. oz of water; 3 oz of FRESH tuna, 1/2 cup of DARK GREENS, and 12 fl oz of water for lunch; an afternoon snack that's same as morning snack; 3 oz of turkey breast, 1 cup of brown rice, and 12 fl oz of water for dinner; and optional night snack of 1/2 grapefruit or 1/2 cup of mixed berries. Hope this helped! And p.s. this really worked for her!

Eat breakfast! Eating breakfast helps your body recognize food and gets it working faster to get ready for your day.
Eat slow. Don't chow down your food. Eating fast also makes you hold extra weight for longer.
