I'd reckonen 5'7 is fairly above average during that time. Average height in 17/18th century europe was around 5'7. It's only recent that people's height grew astoundingly, due to food overproduction.

Accordingly, the 5'7 is above average height for the time period. With average male citizen's height ranging from 5'2 to 5'5.
The queen of Ramses II was 5'4 and she's considered taller than average male of the time..
I would assume they'd eat much more variety, if not much more. However, one thing is certain, they'd eat at the very least, the standard, everyday.

Interestingly, DNA analysis has shown he had red hair. Ramses' father was the pharaoh Seti I. Seti means "follower of Set" in Egyptian, with Set being one of the gods of the underworld. People with red hair were often associated with Set in Egyptian culture, so red hair must have run in the family.

The average Egyptian was like 5'5 so 5'7 would be fairly above average.
