Which are stronger pound for pound Herbivores or Carnivores?

[parvez]

Herbivores consume lot of carbohydrates from plants. These carbohydrates in one way promote insulin secretion. Insulin in turn helps in protein synthesis. Other nutrients like vitamins also play a major role in the protein synthesis. Where as in meat, the carbohydrate content is very minimal. Meat is the chief source of carnivores like cat. It does not contain minimal carbohydrate. It mainly contains protein, fats, minerals etc but not carbohydrates. So, protein synthesis in one way is inhibited. This seems to be the reason why big cats go for intestinal feed as soon as they hunt as all the carbohydrates in intestine must be present for absorption. Even then the carbohydrates in plants are much more in quantity than in animal's. Hence as per this point, herbivores must be stronger than carnivores.
