Find your body type: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, or Endomorph

Share:

About Prakriti: In Ayurveda, your Prakriti (body constitution) is determined by the balance of three doshas — Vata (air + space), Pitta (fire + water), and Kapha (earth + water). Understanding your Prakriti helps personalize your diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices.

About This Tool

Discover your somatotype (body type) based on physical measurements and characteristics. The three main body types are ectomorph (lean and thin), mesomorph (muscular and athletic), and endomorph (softer and rounder). Understanding your body type helps you tailor your diet and exercise plan for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three main body types?
Ectomorph: Naturally lean with fast metabolism, narrow shoulders and hips, difficulty gaining weight. Mesomorph: Athletic build with broad shoulders, narrow waist, gains muscle easily. Endomorph: Rounder physique, wider hips, stores fat easily, slower metabolism.
Can I change my body type?
Your basic somatotype is genetically determined, but you can definitely change your body composition through proper diet and exercise. Ectomorphs can build muscle with heavy lifting and calorie surplus, endomorphs can lose fat with consistent cardio and diet control, and mesomorphs can optimize their natural athleticism.
How accurate is this calculator?
This calculator provides a general classification based on common physical characteristics. It's a useful starting point for understanding your natural tendencies, but individual variations exist. For precise body composition analysis, consider DEXA scans or professional assessments.
Should I follow different diets based on my body type?
Yes! Ectomorphs benefit from higher carbs and frequent meals. Mesomorphs do well with balanced macros. Endomorphs often respond better to lower carb approaches with higher protein. However, individual preferences and health conditions should always be considered.
