 Beauty and fashion, health updates, pets, gadgets Fitness What kind of body type are you? Did you ever notice that some people can eat whatever they want and rarely get fat? Did you ever notice how some people gain weight a lot easier and a lot quicker than other people? Did you ever notice the same about gaining muscle?  The main differences between the three different body types are metabolism speed and bone structure. Let's look at them one at a time... Ectomorph - the naturally skinny body type. In sports you see them running marathons as they have more red muscle fibres, responsible for resistance. The ectomorph is the person who has probably been very skinny their entire life. They are born with a quick metabolism. So they can eat whatever they want and how much they want. They will always stay skinny. But there are disadvantages to being an ectomorph. Ask a skinny guy in the gym how much he has to do to gain a gram of muscle. Everything needs to be perfect, training, rest and nutrition. An ectomorph usually needs 55 per cent of carbohydrates, 20 per cent of fats and 25 per cent of protein with each meal. The calorie amount for muscle building is usually very high as they have a super-quick metabolism and lose a lot of the energy-income as heat. That is what we call thermogenesis. Endomorph - the naturally fat body type. As an endomorph you can be described as round and big boned. Endomorphes can eat half of what an ectomorph will and still gain fats. The endomorph has the slowest metabolic rate which lets them gain weight very quick and easy. But muscle mass too and quickly. Sportwise these people are weightlifters or shot putters. Basically it is the complete opposite of the ectomorph. Their nutrient relationship should be about 40 per cent fats, 25 per cent carbs and 35 per cent protein. Mesomorph - the luckiest body type of the three different body types. The prototypical athlete, fitness model and bodybuilder. Where the ectomorph and the endomorph both have a positive and negative side, the mesomorph has pretty much the best of both worlds. They gain muscle almost as well as an endomorph, yet can lose fat almost as well as an ectomorph. In sports you find them anywhere. A typical example would be the sprinter or gymnastic. The nutrient macro relation is about 30 per cent protein, 40 per cent carbs and 30 per cent fats. You can't change your genetics. It's just not possible. However, you can change your weight. You can change your body fat percentage. You can change how much muscle you have. You can change how much fat you have. The only reason your body isn't what you want it to be is because of you and you alone. The different body types are just a natural starting point for what your body is. But, whether you are an ectomorph, mesomorph or endomorph, it is you, through hard work and dedication, proper diet and working out, who decides what your body will become.
