It helps to know your body type so that you can tailor your diet and fitness to your specific needs and I stumbled across this useful page recently that will help you determine those parameters. Thought I would share.

Diets based on body type, blood type and other physical attributes are no more valid or useful than diets based on sun signs (and for the number of clickbait articles about "Eat according to your horoscope!!!" I'm surprised we don't see PSAs about that regularly).3 -

The diet that worked for me was the one where I logged all my food into the food diary on this site and stayed within my calorie allowance. The fitness that worked for me is the kind I liked that I could keep doing for life.6 -

My favourite part about these "body types" has always been that basically you're one of three:
1. Too skinny
2. You hold too much fat
3. You are a god/goddess
