Solution

The three factors that can increase the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) are:

  1. Growth: During periods of growth, the body's metabolic rate increases to support the energy needs of the growing tissues.

  2. Lean mass (muscle): Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat, even at rest. Therefore, the more muscle mass a person has, the higher their BMR will be.

  3. Caffeine: Caffeine is a stimulant that can temporarily increase BMR by stimulating the central nervous system. This increases heart rate and prompts the body to burn more calories.
