I think it makes sense for manual laborers. Not for everyone though.
Think about that, though. The sheer amount of not only food cooking per man, but harvest/kill/store per man per day seems impossible.

I mean, there were multiple people in every town who spent all day making bread. Bread production was highly regulated to produce a lot of bread. And it was illegal for people to make their own bread. A lot of bread was being made
Also, a lot of the calories would have been in beer.

It’s not possible. Whoever believes that or wrote that has no idea the scale of production that incurs. Even if just eating 2lbs of butter a day where are the number of cows to support that in the fricking Middle Ages
