Everything they eat is well absorbed by their bodies as per its need keeping them fit and active without any additional efforts. Building muscle is easiest for mesomorphs.

Endomorphs are the people with a short but wide structure. They really have a soft and round body with no well defined muscles. These people are mostly chubby and tend to get obese very easily. They tend to gain fat very easily the reason being their slow metabolic rate. Whatever they eat gets absorbed as much as possible increasing their weight drastically.
