Because meat has more protein and energy is used a lot in carnivores, so they constantly eat meat. But herbivores lose more percentage of their energy because they aren't constantly eating fruits and vegetables. In humans, vegetarians don't have enough energy because they don't eat meat. Meat is a very good source of energy.

Which is larger in a energy pyramid consumers carnivores producers or herbivores?

There is a good reason why there are more herbivores than carnivores. When a carnivore eats an herbivore, it only absorbs a small amount of energy from the animal because herbivores only absorb a small amount of energy from the plants they eat. Therefore, a carnivore must eat more herbivores to receive the energy they need to survive.

Why do herbivores have more energy than carnivores?

In order for a food chain to be stable, there must always be less biomass as you go up in trophic levels (i.e. from plants to herbivores to carnivores). This is basically because energy is always lost as it is transferred to each successive level, since herbivores use some of the energy they get from plants to stay alive (leaving less for carnivores who eat them), and so there will always be fewer carnivores than herbivores.
