The size of your frame affects your appearance and the size of the clothes you wear. Even some people believe that if you have a large body frame, it is very easy to get fat. Then how to determine the size of my body frame?
Am I one of those with a large frame?
People who have a large frame often look fatter and bigger. The size of the body frame is categorized into three groups, namely small, medium, and large.
It's not difficult to determine whether you have large bones or not, all you need is a clothes meter and a height measurement tool.

Then what is the ideal body weight when viewed from the body frame that I have?
Basically, the calculation of ideal body weight is influenced by height, size of body frame, gender, age, and level of physical activity.
Amun, until now an easy formula to calculate the ideal body weight that is often used is as follows (Broca's formula).
Ideal body weight: (height - 100) - (10% x (height - 100)
For example, if a man is 165 cm tall, his ideal weight is 58.5 kg if calculated according to this formula.
Will having a big body always be fat?
In fact, your body frame doesn't directly affect your weight. If someone has a large body frame but is fat, then it can be ascertained that there are a lot of fat deposits in the body.
Yes, don't blame your body frame because that's not what makes your belly bloated. Big or small of a person's body frame will only affect posture and body appearance, not to make your nutritional status turn into obesity, or vice versa.
Therefore, obese people can have the ideal body weight if they adopt a healthy lifestyle, exercise regularly, and choose foods that are low in fat and calories.
It is true that the body frame will still be large, but without fat deposits here and there, it certainly does not look fat. So, don't think that big people can't have slim bodies.
