A lot of carbs with fiber. Also basically excercise. The more active you are the more food you can consume. Which will allow you to eat more speeding up your metabolism. But do not overdo it moderatley consume more food.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and eating 6 smaller meals a day.
In case you don't know about HIIT, it's simply running wind sprints off and on. Example, warm up for 4 minutes running at moderate jog then all out sprint for 20 seconds then slow down to a snail's pace for 10 sec - this is one cycle. Repeat this sprint and slow down cycle for a total of 8 cycles. Then do a cool down slow/moderate jog for 4 minutes. Total workout is 12 minutes and it will continue to elevate metabolism for the full day and burn 300-400 additional calories as a result. This is much more efficient from a time persepctive than cardio and it will not breakdown muscle like cardio can do. This in conjunction with the 6 meals a day (with healthy carb/protein/essential fat ratios) will super elevate your metabolism. I agree with the idea of fiber - but I'd emphasize a slightly higer protein component due to the thermogenic effect (up to about 30% of the protein will be converted to heat and "spent").
