Question

My teacher told me that muscles make up 85% of our body weight and that everyone has the same bone size. Is this correct?

Answer 1

Muscles are all made of the same substance, which is an elastic tissue (sort of like the material in a rubber band). Each muscle is made up of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of tiny fibres. Smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and skeletal muscle are the three types of muscles in your body.

Complete answer:
Muscle weight for an average person does not typically reach 60% of body weight, according to online sources.

Water, on the other hand, makes up 70% of the body's mass.

The average adult's body contains 206 bones. Doctors average the amount of bones in a skeleton because people have various numbers of rib bones and bones in their hands and feet. Bones themselves can be of various densities. People with Osteoporosis, who have thinning bones, know this.

The fact that heavier adults with a BMI of over 33 never develop osteoporosis is an intriguing finding from this investigation. Bone density is higher in them. When you engage in activities that create stress on the bone structure, such as weight lifting or, in this example, carrying about excess weight, your bone density increases.

Is there any truth to the claims of heavy weight, large bones, and a large frame? Not at all. The weight of a person's bones is determined by the total weight of their body. Bones account for about 15% of a person's total body weight. While people's frame sizes vary, the majority of people who are overweight for their height do so due to excess body fat. The exception is bodybuilders. Remember that muscular mass weighs more than fat, and lean muscles make you appear slimmer (so if you have lots of muscles you may weigh more but look thinner).

Most weight charts take your frame size into account. In several weight charts, each frame size (small, medium, and large) is divided into 10 pound increments. For any given height, that's a 30 pound swing, so if you look at the chart and think to yourself, "I'm large boned and should weigh more than that," you might gain 10-15 pounds. Being big-boned or small-boned does not justify a 20-25-pound weight difference from someone of average stature. If you are absolutely persuaded that you are not overweight, but rather large in stature. Invest in a body fat scale. These scales are capable of calculating your body fat percentage. However, don't expect insurance companies to change your premiums; they stick to their schedules.

Note:-
Skeletal muscle is one of the human body's most dynamic and malleable tissues. Skeletal muscle accounts for over 40% of total body weight in humans and includes 50-75 percent of all proteins. The heart is the hardest-working muscle in the body. Every heartbeat expels 2 ounces (71 grammes) of blood.
