Big boned?

Question

I saw some people on another post arguing if being big boned was a real thing or not.  On top of that if it determines your weight or not. Comment whether you think it is true or not and why.

Personally I feel like everyone has different sized bones but it doesn't determine your size. Obviously a six foot persons bones are bigger than a five foot persons. But this has nothing to do with how much they weigh. I always see bigger girls posting " I'm not fat just big boned" but it seems like an excuse not that being big is a bad thing. Myself I am a thicker girl but I'll blame it on the real issues not my bones. 😤😤

This was actually something that came up last year in one of my lectures, hate to say it but here's a cross section from a "skinny" person, and a cross section from a "obese" person. Minus the extra layer of fatty tissue, the skeleton is the same size. Big bones are not an excuse. I'm not one to ever say that everyone who is "bigger" is lazy, I know better than that, and know there are many contributing factors that could be the cause.  Genetics and metabolism, medications, eating disorders, general lifestyle choices (and income), activity level etc etc the list can go on.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, fat or skinny you still look the same underneath all the excess x

Answer

Well bones have mass, but they don't contribute to being 'overweight'. Obviously someone with a larger frame (big boned) will weigh more than someone with smaller bones, but the size of your skeleton and your bones has nothing to do with the fat on your body therefore does not contribute to being over or underweight. Some people can appear large because of their big frame but it doesn't mean they are fat. Some people can also have smaller frames and be fat.
