Body type and meat consumption

There are three basic body types; endomorphs, ectomorphs and mesomorphs.

Endomorphs gain fat easily so they have to be very careful with their meat consumption especially red meat, as its full of saturated fat. A better choice  for them would be to focus more on leaner meats such as chicken and fish.

Ectomorphs (they are all bones) are the hard gainers. They seem to be able to eat anything without putting excess unwanted body fat. You can call them lucky if their goal is not muscle gain, but unlucky if  its weight gain. Ectomorph should focus on both however, in my years of training I have witnessed ectomorphs grow better eating red meat than white meat, but be sure to chose lean cuts of meat.

Mesomorphs are the third category. They have more muscle than fat or bone, we call them the lucky ones! They can consume more red meat, process the fat and gain the muscle without gaining too much body fat.

If you are a pescatarian, vegetarian or vegan, you are going to of course need to get your fat, iron and protein intake from other food sources such as fish, flax seed, tofu (soy), beans and nuts.

So make sure always to consider your body type before choosing your meat and food products.
