Calories determine your weight. That's just reality, I get it.
...But what determines your body fat percentage?

Protein intake, to an extent

Calories.
Thanks for stopping by.

Calorie partitioning.
A lot of things really. If you did 0 physical activity as a kid/teenager you will most likely have more fat than muscle, because you grew and gained weight in those years. Also if you lost weight without lifting/using your muscles you sure lost a lot of muscle along with that fat. If you didn't eat enough protein when growing/exercising or when losing weight. Insulin sensibility has something to do with the fat/muscle ratio you lose when dropping weight.
Hormone levels (by extension fat and carb intake), exercise, protein intake, water intake

Well yes, but what determines that?
>>37855355
Hormones. Mainly testosterone and cortisol.

I forgot, once you start physical activity, let's suppose lifting, it's only a matter of gaining and losing weight.
That's the reason behind bulking and cutting, just to change body composition.
If you weight 170lbs with little muscle then bulk for a year til idk 190lbs, when you drop down to 170 you will not look the same despite being the same weight

This. Why does no one else on here realise that your growth hormones are the difference between gaining fat or growing muscle after eating. It's why men gain weight in their thirties despite not changing their diety and exercise regime. It's the reason young people can sleep naked while late twenties and over you'll feel cold if you do. Reminder that anabolic steroids are synthetic hormones

how to increase hormones without juicing?
