I have read (though I have forgotten where) that size and muscular structure was/is dictated by diet (meat,starches,etc.) and exercise (um... being a warrior). The article stated that most warriors were of the same basic physical structure was due to the similar habits and lifestyles of the (let's face it) more well fed classes. I wouldn't think that sitting around the hearth many warriors would go hungry. The alcohol (mead,beer and wine?) would also introduce carbohydrates into the diet as well. I always ate a good helping of noodles or rice the night before a martial arts event/demonstration for extra energy myself. :wink: Eventually this would catch on in their respective societies as well don't you think?
