Jahirul Mazumder · Accepted Answer

A vegetarian follows a two step food chain, crop
plant directly traps solar energy and prepare food like
carbohydrates, which is one of the primary source of calories The
plants retain only 1% of the energy that they receive from sun for
their food So a vegetarian gets the rest of the energy upon
consumption of plants

In contrast a non-vegetarian who eats a meat will follow a
three step food chain At first plants followed by
animals will consume energy, and then the remaining left over
energy will be available for a non-vegetarian

Thus we can say that vegetarian food habits give us more
calories and is more advantageous as compared to
non-vegetarian food
