Because of transitional losses.
If you grow plants to feed to animals in order to eat the animals later, not all of the nutrients in the plants becomes nutrients in the meat.
Quite a lot is lost in the process.
So if humans eat plants directly, you've cut out a huge chunk of losses and made the process a lot more efficient.
The same goes for water. It takes a lot more water if you're going to first grow the crops, then raise the cattle, and then eat the meat. Remove the cattle from the chain and you need a lot less water as well.
