Every body is beautiful
Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. That’s part of what makes each of us unique.
It’s important to know that there isn’t an “average” or “typical” body.
Some of us are curvier, some of us have narrower hips or broader shoulders — we’re all a little bit different.
Still, most of us can categorize our shape into a few broad categories
Some of the most common general categories include:
rectangle
triangle or “pear”
inverted triangle or “apple”
hourglass
These are just a few of the different body types that you might hear about.
Healthier eating shouldn't be a hassle. We'll send you our evidence-based advice on nutrition and weight loss.
So what are these different body types:

Rectangle, straight, or “banana”
If your waist measurements are about the same as your hip or bust, and your shoulders and hips are about the same width, you have what’s called a “banana” or rectangle body type.

Triangle or “pear”
With this shape, your shoulders and bust are narrower than your hips.
You probably have slim arms and a fairly defined waist. Your waist most likely slopes out to your hips.

Spoon
The spoon body type is pretty similar to the triangle or “pear” shape.
Your hips are larger than your bust or the rest of your body and may have a “shelf”-like appearance.
You likely have a defined waist. You may also carry some weight in your upper arms and upper thighs.
