You stumped me on that word. From what I can see, in YOUR case it’s a synonym for delusional. Lol.

You can't change a definition of a word because you dislike someone. No matter how much your little heart wants to.

The 3 Body Types—And How They Affect Your Weight Loss
byStacy T. SimsJuly 29, 2016

Most of us can slot our overall build into one of three general categories, or somatotypes, recognizing that there are a wide variety of shapes and sizes even within these categories.
Body composition is liberating because it gives you something to focus on in a good way—lean body mass. No matter what the scale says, if you're in a healthy body-composition range, you're all good! Your ideal body composition depends on your goals. If you're a competitive athlete, your aim is likely the lower end of the body-fat percentage scale (again, taking your somatotype into consideration), but remember that you are never gunning for zero fat, and lower is not always better.

Women naturally have more fat than men, as we have a greater amount of essential fat (fat needed for bodily functions, from forming reproductive tissue to aiding the absorption of vitamins consumed in different foods). The body-fat ranges for optimal health are 14% to 30% for women and 6% to 25% for men. Don't get too hung up on trimming every little ounce, however. If you're at the lower end of the body-fat spectrum but your fitness level falls under general fitness or athlete, you're not going to gain performance benefits by focusing on fat loss. And you might just make yourself sick.
So first, start by identifying your body type. Here's how to begin.

Ectomorph
You tend to be long limbed and not particularly muscular. You can be "skinny fat," meaning you're a relatively low weight and/or small size yet still have high body fat.
Ectomorphs are the body type that is the most resistant to weight gain because of a fast metabolism. In other words, ectomorphs are often able to overeat while gaining little or even no weight. People with this body type have little observable body fat, are only lightly muscled, and have a small frame (and joints). Basically your genetic makeup limits your ability to put on muscle mass. When training, focus on power and resistance training to build strength.
To maximize body composition (lean-mass gain, body-fat loss) as an ectomorph, eat good quality fats with moderate protein intake of 25 to 30 g per meal (four meals per day if you have a pre-training mini-meal) along with good quality carbohydrates. On nontraining/exercising days, skip the pretraining and morning snack: Breakfast is hearty enough to carry you through to lunch. If you have afternoon snacks, you may want to make your dinner intake a bit lighter than what is written here.

Mesomorph
You find it supereasy to build muscle mass, and you are generally proportionally built.
Mesomorphs can lose and gain weight easily, are able to build muscle quickly, and usually boast an upright posture. This body type tends to have a long torso and short limbs. Women with a mesomorph body type are strong and athletic. Mesomorphs excel in explosive sports—that is, sports calling for power and speed. The reason for this talent lies in the type of muscle mesomorphs possess. Mesomorphs have a higher percentage of fast-twitch fibers and will gain muscle mass more quickly than any other body type. Basically your genetic makeup suits power and strength.
