Oh come on, you can't be serious. The average poor person in the Roman Empire, like most people in ancient times was short, slender and slightly muscular, perhaps with a little paunch from working manual labor for hours per day and eating moderately healthy food. That's if they were lucky and they weren't existing on the edge of starvation.. You can't compare the exceptional cases of how the Roman senators or wealthy individual Romans ate or lived.
