The live span of gladiators was 20-35 years old whilst the average live span of a Roman citizen was 40. Having a mostly vegetarian diet is nothing bad. After-all, it is mostly, not only, so they still get meat. This diet is quite similar to what a lot of high-output sports people I know have where fruit, vegetables and other none-meat food make up a huge portion of their diet. Having a diet based mainly on meat is not very good.

I mean... of course he was. As a slave back in Rome he would not have access to much meat and would most likely get most of his meat from seafood or the occasional birds (which are both two of the most healthiest kinds of meat and are good for athletics) Personally, I am slowly but steadily turning towards the vegetarian diet but I am not the kind of people to decide and do whatever it is set in stone by someone. I plan to direct my diet to vegetarian at home but classical omnivorous when outside, so I will order a stake or (my favourite) Tatar-beef and tripe soup (which isn't often as I don't do fast foods anyway, just proper restaurants) plus if anyone cooks for me I'll just eat it. Yet, I do not quite agree with your point as from my experience many high achieving sports people that i know do eat mainly vegetable based foods with meat essentially being a side dish.
