Foggy's always been a little bit on the bigger side. In school, he was always the chubby kind. In college, he was always the guy who ate that second and third piece of pizza. It never really bothered him and he never really thought about. The fact that Matt has never been a dick about it is a bonus, sure, but he's never felt the need to be one of those guys who can bench press a car or something, so it surprises him a little when he finds out that Matt is Daredevil, that he actually feels the need to get in shape.
Not because he feels bad about himself as he is, but more that he's worried that one day something will happen and he won't be able to help Matt or save him or whatever because Foggy was too out-of-shape to do it. Like, what if Foggy needed to carry him but was so out of shape he couldn't do it? It's a horrible thought, so Foggy tries to stealthy get in shape by eating better and maybe, you know, walking more instead of getting taxis everywhere.
Meanwhile, Matt doesn't really think about being in shape. It just comes naturally to him, not only because of his training with Stick, but because food, etc., has always been a little bit on the lean side. His dad did his best, but they weren't exactly living on much, and the orphanage never really had anything extra to share and what extra they did have was given to the little kids.
Even so, he's always liked Foggy's size. He wants him to be healthy, sure, but it's a comfort thing to know that Foggy's carrying a smidgen extra weight because for a kid who grew up poor, having a little more around the middle meant you were actually doing okay, so when Foggy starts to drop a little weight, it's a lot more distressing to Matt than it should be.
