Figure most of the meal is meat (4)

I believe the answer is:

veal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is meat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for veal that I've seen before include "White meat" , "Type of meat" , "Calf's flesh as food" , "meat, R [ROSE] maybe" , "cuisine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
