What Is My Body Type?

Your body type, or somatotype, plays a key role in determining how your body responds to diet and exercise. The three primary body types—ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph—each have unique characteristics related to metabolism, muscle development, and fat storage. Understanding your body type can help you tailor your fitness and nutrition strategies to achieve the best results. For instance, ectomorphs tend to have a leaner frame with difficulty gaining muscle or fat, mesomorphs naturally build muscle more easily, and endomorphs may gain weight quickly but struggle with fat loss. While genetics play a role, your lifestyle choices also influence your body's appearance and performance. To find out your body type, take this simple quiz. Carefully read each question or statement and choose the option that best describes you. If you're unsure between two responses, trust your instinct—you’ll see how it all comes together at the end!
