One question, how did you discover what body type you have?

 

[trHawT]

He probably saw the info. from bodybuilding.com.
I wish I could help, but I'm like between and ecto and meso, more meso.

 

[Lord_of_the_GYM]

damn you all meso and ectos .... you guys are so lucky ... oh well i guess i gotta work with the card that genetics have dealt to me ... so are there any endo in here that can help me ... WHY AM I NOT A MESO OR AN ECTO

Lord,


being an endo is not as bad as you might think. there's plenty of positive aspects.

you might have to watch your diet a bit. especially the carbs. there's a sticky by Jodi in the "nutrition" section on refeeds & leptin that i think was made with endo's in mind.

i'm an endo/meso but do get fat if i overdo the carbs so manipulating them either way is a good place to start when your planning an eating plan.
stick to protein, good fats & plenty of fibre.
believe me the fibreis extremely important.

on the plus side endo's can train longer & more often than ecto's which suits me as i'm completely addicted to this lifestyle.
with the advice written in the sticky i mentioned i can easily adjust my bodyfat levels (either way) which helps during the winter to protect against the sicknesses.

with my current eating plan i have no problems getting it bodyfat off either. i just add 30-60 minutes of moderate cardio 4-5 times a week.

hey thanks man ... i see a hint of light at the end of a long dark tunnel now...

I am gonna read the stickies as mentioned by you. Would it be possible for you to post your diet?

Lord,

it would be hard for me to post my exact diet as i eat differant every day.

my bodyweight is around 240 lbs so i make it a point to eat at least 240 grams of protein a day.
i try to eat whole foods but protein powders are a good way of bringing up the calories when i can't eat them but i mainly have them pre or post w/o or both!!

i also eat a lot of fibrous type veges to keep me regular & i found it keeps my stomach full & hunger pains away.

on the fourth day i just eat anything i want but it's usually high GI sugary type foods.
i still find it hard to believe that there is a place for all that junk food in a nutritional program but it definately works for me.

don't get stressed out if this doesn't work for you but you can experiment with it for a while & see what works for you.
the most important thing is to make it fun.
