This makes sense, as we're all the same species, but it seems to me that different body types (endo, meso, ecto - morphics) all have naturally different metabolisms, perhaps because of... genetically pre-programmed activity levels and needs???

So, maybe being a Type A, foot-wiggling ectomorph, who craves endurance activities like I believe you are and do, genetically (biologically? physiologically?) programs you for a certain daily burn? Where perhaps Type B mesomorphs who are naturally more... calm, and fitness-wise crave HIIT type activities, such as myself, have to consciously,
constantly focus on fighting genetic programming (and lifestyle preferences) to reach our fat-loss goals ...

Good idea. But being the lazy meso I am, I'll copy/paste.
