Meat versus meal
Although in this particular instance it may be possible that "meat" may be still the first ingredient, this does not discount the fact that it takes about 5lb meat to make 1lb meal, so meal will always give you more "meat" in the form of protein.
As an example the crude protein of chicken meal is around 66%, the crude protein of chicken is 16% (water on), so even if the recipe utilized LESS "meal", you would still be getting more meat.
I guess the REAL answer to THAT question would be, what is the precentage of protein that is derived from meat source, as opposed to plant sources.
