do you always have the same face with the same bf % ?

[Deleted member 16531]

let's say you are 6 foot and you cut down to 170lbs. idk but that may be about 12 % bf
then say you weigh 230lbs, but you gained only muscles, and still have 12 % bf.

does your face look as lean as in the first example?

It is not just about bf% it also depents on water retention, bloating, etc.

I went from 6'4" 220 to 170 , my BF is 7-8% and my face looks almost entirely different

Don't think the muscles in the face change from working out so yea it should look the same

Your face always looks better the more muscle mass you keep.

Good point & he shows example. Always had the same opinion myself.




Probably to do with the hormone benefits & jaw structure is a rough proxy for calories consumed during puberty- wouldn't be surprised if you saw change in early adult years. After doing a 30 pounds bulk (maybe half fat) & then cutting back down I def noticed changes in facial structure.

yes but you can have the same low bf % with 250 lbs and with 140 lbs
and the question was if these would look the same
