Diet for ectomorph

I see all the references to low carb dieting, but will they work in an ectomorph like me?

The diets I suggest are high-protein, low-carb, medium-fat musclebuilding diets for hard trainers. Adjust the ratio of good carbs and healthy fats up if you want. This will possibly work better for your metabolic needs.

EFAs and no junk carbs, mix protein sources. Don’t go crazy.

Getting overly particular in counting calories and grams of sugars, proteins and fats can lead a good lifter to the madhouse. Searching for the perfect menu from the gillion sources of experts will interrupt your sound training attitude.

Estimate; practice right eating and train hard regularly and trust yourself — be of good cheer, be confident, be tough…

Go… Godspeed… Dave
