Continued from Body Type Diet.

If you think I will give you an exact diet plan that you should follow for your body type, you are mistaken. However, here is how to adapt practically any diet to your own body type.

If You’re an Ectomorph Increase your protein an extra 10-20 grams at each meal. In addition, your carb and fat intake will need to be much higher. Start off with 20-30 g of carbs per meal. Fats can be increased to approximately 15 g per meal.

Monitor your physique changes closely when radically altering your diet and always consult with your doctor prior to making any changes to your diet. If these amounts turn out to be too much, back down to an amount at which you’re still making gains while remaining somewhat lean.

Usually, the primary concern for this particular body type is to stay on a strict eating schedule – every 2½-3 hours. Not staying on a rigid eating schedule and missing meals is the root of ectomorph weight-gain problems.

If You’re an Endomorph You’ll need to monitor your diet more strictly. If your weight falls in the range of 150-200 pounds, your protein levels should stay the same each meal. Carbohydrates will need to be lowered to 10-30 g per meal, and fats should stay under 6 g per meal. This particular body type will need to stay on the “baseâ€? diet for at least three weeks before indulging in free days.

If You’re Already Heavier than 150 Pounds or If You’re a Mesomorph Although some diets are designed for a 150-pound person in mind, they may also be adapted for a larger person. If you’re in the 200-250-pound range, you do not need to change the the foods, although the amounts of protein, carbs and fats will increase.

For example, your protein intake should go up by about 10-20 g per meal; carbohydrates, depending on your bodytype, can go up by about 10-20 g per meal for endomorphs and by about 20-30 g for ectomorphs and mesomorphs; fats should range around 9-15 g per meal.
