Your metabolism dictates how your body uses and stores calories.Factors influencing it include genetics, activity level, body composition, and diet. Someone with a faster metabolism (ectomorph body type) may need a larger caloric surplus to gain weight, while someone with a slower metabolism (endomorph) might need a smaller surplus to minimize fat gain. Regularly assess your progress and adjust your caloric intake accordingly.
