Discover your natural body type to personalize your fitness and nutrition strategy.

Your body type plays a significant role in how you gain muscle, store fat, and respond to different diets or training programs. This Body Type Calculator helps identify your general body classification based on your height and weight.

What Are the 3 Main Body Types?

Understanding your body type helps tailor your approach to diet and exercise. There are three primary somatotypes:

1. Ectomorph

• Naturally thin or lean
• Fast metabolism
• Finds it hard to gain weight or muscle
• Ideal training: Higher resistance and calorie-dense nutrition

2. Mesomorph

• Naturally athletic and muscular
• Gains muscle easily
• Balanced metabolism
• Ideal training: Moderate to heavy strength training with a balanced diet

3. Endomorph

• Tends to store more fat
• Slower metabolism
• Gains weight more easily than muscle
• Ideal training: Mix of cardio and strength, with a focus on portion control and macro balance

How This Calculator Works

The tool estimates your likely body type using:

• Height (in centimeters)
• Weight (in kilograms)

It analyzes the ratio between height and weight to give you a general idea of your natural somatotype. While it's not a replacement for a full body composition test, it provides a quick insight to guide your fitness journey.

Why Knowing Your Body Type Matters

• Helps set realistic expectations for weight loss or muscle gain
• Guides training intensity and frequency
• Helps optimize your macronutrient ratios
• Reduces frustration from one-size-fits-all fitness plans

Example

If you're tall and lean with difficulty gaining weight despite eating more, the calculator may categorize you as an ectomorph. If you build muscle easily but tend to gain fat without careful eating, you may fall into the endomorph category.

Disclaimer

Everyone is unique, and most people are a blend of body types. This calculator gives you a general starting point — not a strict label. Your genetics, training history, and lifestyle will also influence how your body responds over time.
