Lionel Messi's first agreement with Barcelona was famously written on a paper napkin in 2000, when he was 13. He went on to become the club's all-time top scorer, win a record eight Ballon d'Or awards and, in 2022, finally lead Argentina to the World Cup in Qatar, alongside Copa América titles in 2021 and 2024. After Barcelona he played for Paris Saint-Germain, then joined Inter Miami in 2023.
This scan, from when he was 33, shows 72 kg at 169 cm with body fat of around 14%. For a footballer that is a short, dense build with a low centre of gravity, which helps explain the tight turns and close control he is known for. The body-fat reading is a little above the very lean figures often quoted for elite outfield players, fitting a game built on short bursts and touch rather than on covering the most ground.

A visual estimation of the areas of your body with a higher likelihood of containing more fat than others -- not a measurement. This feature is experimental; treat the heatmap as an indication, not a clinical finding. Accuracy is best at the extremes of body-fat percentage, weaker in the middle, and atypical body shapes (athletic builds, pregnancy, etc.) may not be modelled well.
| Metric | Value vs reference | Reference | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lateral lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | +1.4° | 0° = vertical (frontal knees-to-head axis) | natural — upright |
| Head forward offset?Accurate to about ±1-2 cm in a single scan -- camera tilt and head rotation (looking up / down / sideways) are the main confounders. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, look straight ahead and keep the camera level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0 = ear in line with the spine axis (no forward head) | — |
| Forward/back lean?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | Upload a side picture to get this metric | 0° = vertical (side knees-to-head axis) | — |
| Shoulder tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | +2.4° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — right shoulder low |
| Hip tilt?Accurate to about ±2-3° in a single scan -- camera tilt is the main confounder. Trending against your own history (same setup) is more reliable than the absolute number. For best accuracy, make sure the camera was level while scanning. | +0.5° | 0° = level (frontal) | natural — balanced |
| Segment | Left width | Right width | Δ vs symmetric | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upper arm Biceps / triceps | 8.7 cm | 8.3 cm | +5.5% | natural — left side larger |
| Forearm Forearm flexors | 5.6 cm | 6.9 cm | -21.1% | significant — right side largerlow confidenceA single front-facing photo can't tell a genuinely larger limb from one simply rotated toward the camera, and small limbs like the forearm swing a lot — so a large difference here is more likely a measurement artifact than a real asymmetry. A full-body scan (front + back) averages this out and is far more reliable. |

BodyWHAT uses its own proprietary, neural-network-based technology to estimate your body-fat percentage and other body-composition metrics directly from your photos. These in-house models are combined with established anthropometric methods; the published methods and reference ranges below inform and calibrate those estimates.
