What are the causes of fat calves and fat ankles?

Fat calves and ankles are also known as ‘cankles’. There are different causes of fat calves and fat ankles. Genetics is one of the most significant influences on how the calves and ankles appear. If you have a first-degree relative, such as a parent, with large calves and ankles, you are more likely to have ankle fat. Many may engage in regular physical exercise but still cannot develop well-defined calf muscles. As a result, patients may develop an unsightly appearance referred to as ‘cankles’.

Lipedema is a condition which primarily affects women, with over one in ten women in the UK suffering from lipedema affecting the lower legs. Lipedema results in the development of fat ankles and calves and, in many cases, can be very painful due to excessive fat accumulation in these areas. For many people, lipedema may have a genetic predisposition and can also be triggered by hormonal fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy or menopause. Lipedema may also develop in women who take the oestrogen-containing contraceptive pill.

Nutritionally poor diets contain high quantities of refined sugar, often found in fizzy drinks, cakes, biscuits and other types of confectionery. Processed meat and white bread also contribute to weight gain. The best approach is to consume whole-grain foods, such as wholemeal bread and brown pasta. Other foods include nuts, seeds, beans, vegetables and fruit. These foods help you feel fuller for longer and prevent excess fat from accumulating.

Minimal physical exercise increases the risk of becoming overweight or obese. We would recommend at least 30 minutes of physical exercise five days a week, in line with NHS national recommendations of 150 minutes of physical activity each week. Poor sleep routines, coupled with high levels of stress, lead many people to choose unhealthy food, and foods high in salt place a sodium load upon the body, leading to fluid which can make cankles appear more pronounced. Women often develop cankles during pregnancy as a result of fluid retention, and sometimes calf fat and ankle fat do not fully resolve afterwards.
