Humans' storage form of energy is a six carbon sugar called glucose. Our cells can easily break glucose down into ATP, the main energy that powers our cells. Plants' storage form of energy is starch, which we can also break down, however you eat the whole plant, not just its starch, and plants also contain cellulose, a structual carbohydrate that your body cannot breakdown into ATP. While starch can be converted to glucose, it requires more energy to do so, and cellulose cannot be converted at all. So in short, your body breaks down meat more easily because it's energy is already stored in a form which your body can process most easily.
