Ectomorph Meal Plan

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

What's an ectomorph?

An ectomorph tends to be naturally thin with skinny limbs. Think of marathon runners. These types of people are more naturally inclined to endurance exercise, have a high metabolism, have an easier time staying thin, have a more petite bone structure, and generally don’t struggle with their weight. They can be tall or short, but are typically slim. Ectomorphs have a harder time building muscle mass.

Healthy ectomorphs are energetic, have incredible endurance due to a high percentage of slow twitch muscle fibers, and have a good body composition with adequate lean muscle mass.

Unhealthy ectomorphs may feel fragile, scrawny, and even "skinny fat". They'll never appear overweight, however their body fat composition can be quite high in comparison to their lean muscle mass. ​

As an Ectomorph, you will greatly benefit from the eating habits on this meal plan!

4) Eating high quality complex carbohydrates.
