Explain the reason that eating lower on a food chain provides more food energy that eating higher on the food chain?

Eating lower on the food chain provides more food energy because energy is lost as it moves through each trophic level.

By consuming plants directly, less energy is lost, resulting in more food energy available for consumption.
