well, based on genetics alone, i'm an endomorph because i gain weight easily. but i work out so much that i've managed to keep my weight in the curve regions.
I could maybe gain weight if I wouldn't do anything for a long time but I can eat pretty much without gaining too much weight and I have one crazy metabolism. I do work out a lot and therefore I don't even give my body a chance to gain weight, but I am not skinny in any way, does that make me a mix of all three??
May I suggest the Zone Diet by Barry Sears? It's a diet, but it explains some substances that can make your body fat, etc, etc.Eggsnham said:
Do you know Manuel uribe? You know, the most fat person in the world? He started having this diet, and curiously enough it's working. He has lost about 400 lbs and he still want to lose some more. Check it out, if you want, and I recommend it.
OT: I think Ectomorph, but not very sure.
I guess Mesomorph. I'm athletic, but I'm not some jock. I'm thin, in shape, and have a little muscle build and tone, but not all of us are some giant man. >:/
I think the endo/ecto/meso is a bit too restrictive for a general population. I would see something like "hard/easy muscle gainer" and "hard/easy fat gainer" as more useful. I think the bone structure is the real take hom piece from somatotypes.
I pretty much fit squarely in the ectomorph description though, 6' and about 55 kilos. For such an extreme weight/height I actually don't look too much like a refugee, because I have a small bone structure.

Ectomorph. I can eat all the candy and ice-cream I want to. And dammit, I am going to use that superpower.
I'm sort of an Ecto/Endo/Meso guy.. I have a few pounds stored away, but I don't gain.. Like.. In several years I've hace a few pounds stored and not really gained or lost any..
I'm about 5 pounds over my BMI ideal weight, and I think that's just perfectly awesome.
With training and diet I know that I can become a jock in about 3-4 months (did so during my military service).
So I'm very in between.. Right now I'm thinking about exercising more, but not due to my weight, due to my physical shape.. Drinking beer in front of the computer all day ain't the best thing for your body : P
Recap: So, I'm not fat, but I'm not in good shape. Although, I can get into good shape if I bother too. But I don't.
I have a pretty decent STR, CHA and INT level, but my AGI is really, really poor and only boosted by perks like "Feline Reflexes", "Natural Jumping Hero" and "Born Sprinter" perks..

Ecto. My friend tells me I have the 'skinny, artsy student' thing going on. I don't exercise really, but then I don't eat a great deal either.
Endo/Meso.
I am "larger than your average girl" in that I'm a bit heavy. That being said, I work a labor-intensive job, lifting a lot of stuff all night and moving almost constantly (unless it's an "easy" night), so I'm rather built as well as bulky.
Were I to eat less crap after I get home from work, I'd lose MAYBE 20 pounds, and built more like a swimmer, but I'm certainly not obese and am relatively active, so I don't honestly worry about it. If I stopped working the type of job I have, I'd likely gain weight, tho, because I don't actively exercise/play sports any more beyond taking walks. My genetics are both extremes-hard gainer or hard loser.
But my gf loves me, so I don't really care wot other folks think.

But I've been lifting and eating like a bastard and have gained about 45lbs in 5 months. My guess is less than 10lbs of that is fat and water.

A athletic build that has a bit of fat on it. For people my size (not just height, but body size) they generally tend to weigh 30-35 pounds less then me. Our family has thick bones, I have never broken one. I had a fitness craze a couple of years ago, and I kind of miss it. I wasnt eating so much junk
