Hi there
before you can build muscle, you need to be eating enough to "make" muscle. This means eating more energy (calories) than you use up in a day.
Eating a healthy, balanced diet, with a variety of foods, alongside a weights program should help you.
Your metabolism will increase when you eat more. It is true that muscle is more metabolically active than fat, however at 15 years old, you need to make sure you have enough body fat to keep you having your periods.
