There were more species of plant eating dinosaur than there were species of carnivorous dinosaur. Additionally, the populations of carnivores would have been much smaller than the populations of similarly sized herbivores.

Ultimately, animals can't make their own energy, so they have to steal it, either from plants or from other animals. This means that towards to bottom of the food chain, there will always be many more plant-eaters than flesh-eaters. Dinosaurs would have been no different; for every big predator like Allosaurus or Carnotaurus, there would have been hundreds of sauropods, anatosaurs, ceratopsians and ankylosaurs.
