for lower weight individuals, does smaller amount of fat loss result in larger facial changes?

[appeal]

if your weight is on the lower end, does a smaller amount of fat lost result in a larger facial change than for someone who is higher in bodyweight that loses the same amount of fat

fat loss makes 0 facial difference until you reach 18% tbh (closer to 15 actually). once you start going below 15 is when facial changes happen

Like 11-13

So 1% per pound legit

Maybe like 0.8% per pound

In kgs, like 2% per kg

so even those single lbs drops make a massive difference to your facial aesthetic?

shi i must be below 12% then
how much do u think my bf is at 5'11 and 70.2 kgs

those stats are completely irrelevant to determine body fat. until you have veins running up your abdomen, your not 10% (this is the tell tale indicator of true 10% bf)

shi i must be below 12% then

yes, 10-12 is ideal. i’m 17-18 rn gotta lose 5ish percent. when i start going below 15% is when facial changes are really gonna start coming in. even getting to 12, those 3% under 15 will make a massive difference

it's proportional

 

[appeal]

Tbh yeah

also out of curiosity, how much does dropping from 15 down to 10 ascend you you think?

 

[appeal]

it's proportional

meaning if a 140lbs guy for example drops 5lbs of fat and a 190lbs guy drops 5lbs fat (assuming they both start with same bf percentage) the 140lbs will have a much larger facial difference than 190. right?

yes just in total weight it's 3.6% and 2.6%, and it's not even this cause fat mass is more fluctuating and smaller than bones etc

what do u mean by this?

 

[NZb6Air]

The difference in percentages is in reality way bigger (it's way more impactful for the 140lbs guy)

 

[SubhumanForever]

Yeah that's what the word "percentage" means
