Why do people the same weight as me look bigger?
One easily forgotten reason is that your weight only indicates your body mass index (BMI), not your body composition, which is the amount of muscle versus fat you have on your body. Your body composition makes a huge difference in what you look like even though it can’t be measured by the scale.
Why do people look different at the same weight and height?
Muscles are around 18\% more dense than fats. Meaning one person can have less fat and more muscles, weigh the same but look differently from someone with the opposite ratios because fats are less dense and require more volume to weigh the same as muscles. Bone density can also contribute to this.
Can you be the same weight but look thinner?
It’s possible to get thinner without actually seeing a change in your weight. This happens when you lose body fat while gaining muscle. Your weight may stay the same, even as you lose inches, a sign that you’re moving in the right direction.
Why do I look skinnier but not losing weight?
If you’ve been exercising as part of your weight-loss efforts, you may notice that your body looks and feels thinner, but that the number on the scale doesn’t budge. This is because you are likely building muscle while losing some fat. Muscle tissue is denser than fat, so a pound of it takes up less space.
What makes a person look different at the same weight?
Bone structure, as well as body fat and lean mass. Even the same person can look a lot different at the same weight depending on their body fat and lean mass. September 1, 2013 8:24PM 75in2013
Why do tall people look smaller than short people?
Height and muscle mass is going to have a lot to do with that. Taller people who weight the same as shorter people are most likely thinner. Also muscle weighs more than fat but takes up less room (it’s denser) so someone with more muscle but the same weight will look smaller in size.
Why do people with more muscle look bigger than those with fat?
Also muscle weighs more than fat but takes up less room (it’s denser) so someone with more muscle but the same weight will look smaller in size. Bone structure, clothing it all has an influence on how big you look. As a person suffering from anorexia nervosa I can say that my personal body image often differs from what the scale tells me.
Why do people look different from each other?
People carry their weight in different ways/areas. People’s builds are different, some are more muscular, some people’s bones are more dense than others, etc. I love looking at pics of people with the same height and weight and seeing how different everyone looks. It has to do with bone structure.
