EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR BODY TYPE (Part 1): Body type structure and function

There are 3 basic body structures:

• Ectomorph(naturally thin with thin limbs)
• Mesomorph(naturally muscular/athletic)
• Endomorph(naturally broad/thick)

Everybody should fall into one of these categories.

The structure of our body dictates which activities we will perform best and worst in:

Ectomorphs tend to predominate in endurance exercise.

• The primarily challenges for individuals with this body type include gaining muscle size and strength.

Mesomorphs perform best in bodybuilding and strength exercises.

• The primary challenges for individuals with this body type include building muscle mass while simultaneously keeping body fat percentage low.

Endomorphs excel in absolute strength exercises, such as power-lifting events.

• The primary challenge for individuals with this body type is body fat loss, particularly in the trunk.
