what do people mean when they say your not fat just big boned?

Answer 1

There are people who may have not that much fat in their bodies, but look big because of their wide bone structure.

Answer 2

Actually, there are people who have a larger bone structure. It has nothing to do with your fat at all. There are people who have larger bone structures, but don't have a large body fat percentage. And having a large bone structure doesn't mean your bones are "big" either, it just means the structure is.

Answer 3

in the beginning you have a particularly stable weight on your top. my mom is 5 9' and weighs one hundred forty five pounds, even nonetheless she has an extremely small physique, being bnig boned ability you have a great physique, which would not propose your fat, human beings are born with it and you cant replace what your born with. yet dont get all unhappy because of the fact its no longer a bad factor in any respect. if it bothers you you're able to easily paintings out plenty to get extremely toned and then it extremely could be stressful to differentiate you from a small physique because of the fact of all your muscle.

Answer 4

Being big boned, doesn't necessarily mean that you're fat..... You just seem to be, but you are in fact as a healthy weight. But when the average person tells you this they probably think you think of youself as being fat .... so they say this to make you feel better about youself .... assuring you that they don't think of you as fat.

Answer 5

That is a good question. Maybe they just don't want to accept the fact that they are, now if that is true, then I have seen some mighty big boned people and just what kind of bone is that just above the belt buckle and hip pocket area? Now don't you go and tell them that I said that.

Answer 6

Because there are many people that do have a large frame. There are also people with a medium frame, and a small frame.

I hope this helps because it is the truth. If they mean anything else, then they are being kind to someone is the only reason I can think of.

Answer 7

It probably means that they don't want to say that you're fat... or maybe they think they're fatter than you, & to say you're fat would be addmitting that they're fat.
Don't worry too much about other people's opinions, just eat healthy & work out. Some of us are not built to be skinny, simple as that, so maybe that's what they're saying.
You could always ask whomever says this to you what they mean by it.

Answer 8

They mean that you are overweight. It's just a nicer way to say it, that's all. There isn't a big boned human skeleton in history.
