I believe the answer is that the graph is showing an average per household breakdown, not a per product one. People eat many more cereals than chicken, eggs and fish, but you are almost certainly correct that the energy intensity of producing those are higher. Look at the graphs in the original article to see the many ways these data can be viewed. It is a pretty short read.

Thanks, I figured that out too after looking at the graph again later. It's per household instead of per unit of product.
I get a cookie error on the link, though. It should be:
