Are you AMAB or AFAB?

The bigger your body, the more calories you burn at rest, according to the Mayo Clinic.

People assigned male at birth (AMAB) tend to burn more calories than people assigned female at birth (AFAB) because people AMAB tend to have more muscle. Similarly, older adults tend to burn fewer calories because they lose muscle over time.

As far as your metabolism and fever, "when patients are having fever, they may start shivering for the purpose of rapidly increasing the production of heat by the muscles," Dr. Vargas says. "When this occurs, further increments in energy consumption are expected."
