Body Type Calculator
Determine your body type (Ectomorph, Mesomorph, or Endomorph) and get personalized fitness and nutrition recommendations for your metabolism and physique.
Your Body Type Analysis
Body Analysis:
Ectomorph
Naturally thin, fast metabolism, difficulty gaining weight
Mesomorph
Athletic build, gains muscle easily, balanced metabolism
Endomorph
Naturally broader, gains weight easily, slower metabolism
Personalized Recommendations:
Fitness Approach:
- Focus on strength training with compound movements
- Include 3-4 cardio sessions per week
- Emphasize progressive overload
Nutrition Strategy:
- Balanced macronutrient ratio (40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat)
- Eat protein with every meal
- Time carbs around workouts
About
Our Body Type Calculator analyzes your physical measurements and characteristics to determine your somatotype (Ectomorph, Mesomorph, or Endomorph) and provides personalized fitness and nutrition guidance.
Why Use
Understanding your body type helps optimize your fitness routine, nutrition plan, and weight management strategy. Different body types respond better to specific training and dietary approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions – Body Type Calculator
The three somatotypes are: Ectomorph – naturally thin with fast metabolism and difficulty gaining weight; Mesomorph – athletic build with good muscle development and balanced metabolism; Endomorph – naturally broader frame with tendency to gain weight and slower metabolism. Most people are a combination of types with one being dominant.
Wrist circumference is a reliable indicator of frame size and bone structure. For men: under 16.5cm = small frame (ectomorph tendency), 16.5-18.5cm = medium frame (mesomorph tendency), over 18.5cm = large frame (endomorph tendency). For women: under 14cm = small, 14-15.9cm = medium, over 15.9cm = large frame. This measurement is less affected by muscle mass or fat than other body parts.
While your basic bone structure and genetic predisposition remain constant, your body composition can change significantly through diet, exercise, and lifestyle. You may shift between characteristics of different body types. For example, an endomorph can achieve a more mesomorphic appearance through proper training and nutrition, though their underlying metabolic tendencies may remain.
Ectomorphs: Higher carbohydrate intake (45-50%), moderate protein (25-30%), lower fat (20-25%). Focus on calorie-dense foods. Mesomorphs: Balanced approach – 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. Endomorphs: Lower carbs (25-30%), higher protein (35-40%), moderate fat (30-35%). Emphasize whole foods and portion control.
Ectomorphs: Focus on heavy compound movements, limit cardio, longer rest periods, 3-4 workouts per week. Mesomorphs: Combination of strength training and cardio, can handle higher volume and frequency. Endomorphs: Higher intensity interval training, more cardio, shorter rest periods, emphasis on fat burning and muscle building simultaneously.
Yes, most people are a combination of two body types with one being dominant. For example, ecto-mesomorphs are naturally thin but can build muscle relatively easily, while endo-mesomorphs have good muscle building potential but tend to gain fat more easily. The calculator identifies your dominant type while considering mixed characteristics.
