An endomorph is a person with a body type that is characterized by having a higher percentage of body fat and less muscle mass. Endomorphs are often heavier and rounder, but this does not necessarily mean that they are obese. Because of their physical makeup, people with endomorph bodies are more sensitive to calorie consumption than people with other body types.
Endomorphs must carefully watch their food intake to ensure they don’t consume more calories than they burn. Other characteristics include a larger frame and an inability to lose weight.
These characteristics differ from those of the other two body types, ectomorph and mesomorph. People with an ectomorph somatotype have a higher metabolism, which means they can eat more and gain little weight. They also have smaller joints, a smaller body size, and a narrower frame. The mesomorph somatotype, on the other hand, is in between ectomorph and endomorph.
These individuals may have a larger skeletal frame but a lower percentage of body fat. They can typically gain muscle and lose weight easily.
