You don't look fat, but why are you so heavy?
Some people are heavy but don't look fat for the following reasons:

1. People who don't look fat but are heavy have higher bone density, less meat, but heavier bones.

2. People who are heavy but don't look fat have less fat and more muscles. At the same weight, the volume of fat is about three times that of muscle.

3. If a person is heavy, but his face is small, he will also think that this person is not fat.

4, people rely on clothes, a person weighs a lot, but finding clothes that suit you will also look fat.

It is a misunderstanding to measure fatness by weight!

Many people may have encountered such a situation, standing on the weighing scale, clearly seeing that their numbers are normal, but they just look fatter than others. This situation is probably caused by too much fat in the body and insufficient muscle mass. Body fat rate is an important index to determine the degree of body fat and thinness, which mainly refers to the proportion of total fat content to the overall weight of the body.

Under normal circumstances, the fat rate of normal adult males should be between 10 ~ 20%, while that of normal females should be between 18 ~ 25%.

From the perspective of influencing body shape, body composition can be roughly divided into two categories: fat weight and lean weight. Lean body mass refers to fat-free body mass, and lean body mass = weight-fat body mass. Ballet dancers, figure skaters and even gymnasts are slim, but what they don't know is that they are heavier than the average person, which is the difference in body fat rate.

In lean body mass, the content of bone is naturally the largest, followed by muscle, followed by water. And fat belongs to oil, which is the lightest (oil is lighter than water), so in body composition, if the fat content is the highest, people will be light, but they will look bloated; If you are thin and heavy, you look beautiful even if you are heavy.

The standard weight in nutrition is based on the principle of prolonging life and promoting health. According to the different concepts of individual size, height and weight, body mass index (BMI) is adopted as the measurement method, and BMI = weight (kg)÷ height 2 (m). Body mass index greater than or equal to 24 is overweight, and body mass index greater than or equal to 28 is obesity.

So "fat" and "thin" are actually very complicated and cannot be determined by a simple weight figure.
