The same type of diet or body work out routine doesn't work for everyone; since there are different types of body types out there, it is important to know which category you fit and how you alter your diet and body work out routine so it serves you properly.

'Scientifically' there are three body types which people can identify as... which are:

Ectomorphs, Mesemorphs and Endomorphs.

Ectomorphs

Ectomorphs tend to be skinny and tall, they also posses thin muscles, a fast metabolism, decreased endurance, small shoulders and chest, delicate bones, lose weight super easy and find it rather difficult to gain muscle.

Mesomorphs

Mesomorphs tend to be a bit more bigger than the Ectomorphs. Mesomorphs have a lean figure, heavy body, a fast metabolism, are able to gain weight, muscular, have a lower body fat percentage, larger muscles and strong legs.

Endomorphs

Endomorphs tend to be soft and round, posses thick arms and legs, may find it difficult to lose weight, have a slower metabolism and low endurance.

You can also be in a mix of body types, for example you can be in between an Ectomorph and Mesomorph, or an Endomorph and a Mesomorph.

When you understand your body type, you understand the type of meals you should be eating, because for example a Endomorph can't eat what an Ectomorph would eat, if an Ectomorph's goal was to gain weight.
