I'm slowly reading Layne's sticky but I don't know what body type I am, meso, ecto, etc. Am I just SUPPOSED to know or can I figure it out some way? I ask because he lists the counts of carbs, fats and proteins a person should take in but those numbers are dependent on your body type...

There are various, unscientific, ways to tell as well. Do you have broad shoulders?

Some people are a mixture as well.

I gain muscle and fat fairly easy, but have a hell of a time cutting fat. I have always had broad shoulders.

Thread #79.

Do you know what each type is? And what defines each body type?

Mesomoporh: Adds muscle and maintains muscle easily with limited fat gain.
Ectomorph: Neither adds muscle or fat easily. A "hardgainer".
Esomoporh: Gains fat easily and doesn't cut too easily.

Depending on that, base how sensitive you are to certain nutrients. The...decide.
