I know it's for muscle. Muscle also contributes to positive changes in skeletal structure. When that Muscle turns into fat, and needs fat stores and carbohydrate tissue, that fat helps with the material for wider hips. A lot associated with muscle gain goes into hip structure, so it does help with wider hip structure.

Short version, muscle cannot turn into fat.
Muscle cells are different from fat cells. Can't convert one to the other.

Muscles have more mitochondria, fat cells are blobs for storage - even the nucleus is displaced.
What usually is seen as "fat turning to muscle" is someone who has been very active, and has the appetite to match, suddenly going to a desk job or a similar no-activity setting.
Their caloric expenditure drops through the floor - but their body doesn't know to change their hunger, yet.
It is VERY restless, though....
And food is prevalent. Worse, when we're stressed, our body seeks a "quick fix" - sweet and salty snacks, like candy and soda and chips.

Your nutrient density drops, so you eat more; you're stressed, so you eat carbs loaded with carbs (sugar in potato chips, say?), and your insulin skyrockets; and you're not active enough to clean out the blood...

Now, your body chemistry is disposed to storing energy. And you're eating like an athlete, and even worse, eating junk foods from stress. Think that through, you can see the energy is going to be preferentially stored in fat cells - so even if you WERE skinny, you're going to balloon up if you don't monitor your diet.

Different types of cells, different structures, and they don't change types, any more than an osteoblast will suddenly become a neuron. ;-)


As to muscle changing the bones, I can tell you - IT DOES, to limited extent. Ugly beast, too - think shin splints, osgood schlotter's disease, bone spurs. NOT effective for our wants, and painful enough I wouldn't think we'd even make the connection. What happens is the tendon pulls part of the bone away from the rest of the bone, and the body heals it. So far, OK, recoverable.
BUT, repeat multiple times in one place? Messy and ugly. Think of a karate champion's hands, or the googles should give you some idea, especially Osgood Schlotter's. I have it - it's just a spot on my knee where the bone was crushed and shifted. And that was done several hundred times climbing out of a pool.
Now it's a lump, where the bone calcifies, dies, and then is presumed injured - and re-calcifies, and those cells die, and...
By the time I die in 40 years, say? Might grow to be the size of a garlic clove. Ineffective, painful, unpretty. :-P
I don't even want to think about how you'd do that to your hips, and I've been damaged that way, too. :-(

Scary where we end up sometimes... ;-)
