Body types?

[ASJChaotic]

"bodytypes" are for people who blame being fat or skinny as being "endo" or "ecto". 

exactly, eat too much you are an endo, eat too little and don't workout = ecto
workout and eat right = meso LOL

Bodytypes are also about structure.

Bodytypes are also about structure.

Of course it is, those who try to simplify it to something else don't have a good understanding.

imo there are no body "types"

So there are no genetics?

there is, but you can't put people into just 3 categories lmao
skinny, muscular, fat
eample: people just blame their body type for being fat

I know what you mean, but we put things into categories all the time for ease and simplicity. These categories don't make people blame body types for being fat. People do that anyway

Your rationale that people can't be categorized because you don't think so doesn't make sense. Of course they can.

Just because some blame their body type for fatness doesn't effect the fact that the categories are valid. Arguing body types is like disputing someone's height, there's nothing to discuss.

Somatotypes do more than just determine body shape/structure. They also refer to how different bodytypes metabolise food.

e.g meso's generally can gain/lose weight easier than an endo, who has a slower metabolism and is more prone to higher bodyfat levels. Ecto's have very fast metabolisms, so gaining will be harder for them etc etc.....
