If you want a number and want it to be accurate, go and get your metabolic rate measured professionally (like with a MetaCheck device).
If you want a number that is a general ballpark kind of value, you can use an equation like the Harris-Benedict equation for the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of an 'average' individual:
Men: 66.5 + (13.75 x weight in kg) + (5.003 x height in cm) - (6.775 x age in years)
Women: 655.1 + (9.563 x weight in kg) + (1.850 x height in cm) - (4.676 x age in years)
Then you can use the number to calculate how many calories you can eat per day and maintain your weight depending on your level of exercise: 1.2 x BMR with little or no exercise, 1.375 x BMR with light exercise 1-3 days a week, 1.55 x BMR with moderate exercise 3-5 days a week, 1.75x BMR and 1.9x BMR for heavy and very intense exercising.

How do red blood cells impact metabolism?
Most of your metabolism is aerobic. (it uses oxygen to produce energy) Red blood cells carry oxygen to your cells. So your red blood cells can act like a gas pedal on a car for your metabolism rate. If you get more red blood cells to your body faster, then your metabolism will increase. (This increase will only happen up until it hits a limit) This is why supplements that claim to increase your metabolism are often just herbs with caffeine added.
