@ValueSubtracted I know it’s a minor point and there’s not a lot to be done about it but Boimler is one of the shortest main Trek characters and Jack Quaid just towers over everyone else on the Enterprise.

The food synthesizers of the 23rd century are simply no match for the 24th century replicators for providing Federation citizens a nutritious diet. That'll explain why Boimler is so tall compared to 23rd century people.
