That's not super accurate, there were still public lands for hunting and chickens and goats were eaten regularly by non-nobles.
That said, it wasn't common to have meat at every meal.
Also: feast days, and there were a fucktonne of them (more than the pitiful handful we get nowadays) and were almost always catered lavishly by their local lord as a show of wealth.
I'm not saying life was 'better' then, just that we have a lot of misconceptions about historic periods, usually influenced by movies and other entertainment media.
