Yeah, and furthermore, what types of meat you eat make an even greater difference. The worst offender is factory farmed beef, which produces close to a tenfold more emissions per protein amount than chicken, pork or fish.
One thing that surprised me when looking into this a few years ago is that chicken is a surprisingly carbon-light source of protein (note, emissions/grams of protein, not emissions/calorie) in the northern hemisphere.
