Take the 2-minute tour ×  It can be on fitness, sports or just
plain daily life.  Everything I hear and know about ectomorphs
is:    • They struggle to gain weight (be it fat or muscle) and
they tend to lose the gains easily.   • They have small bones,
putting them on the "weak side" of the spectrum and at a higher
risk of ostheoporosis.   • They tend to have low fat levels, so
it's harder for their body to regulate its temperature.  So it
seems that people with that body type (including me) "lost the
game" in the gene pool and are screwed for life. Can anybody
shine a light on me and tell me if there's any good thing of
being like this?! :(  share|improve this question Struggling to
gain fat can be an advantage no? Many diseases are linked to
obesity. –  Mew Oct 3 '12 at 0:47 You can have little fat on
your body, and very high cholesterol levels. Clogged coronary
arteries will kill you a lot quicker than a "pooch." –  Grohlier
