What does 30% protein mean on the chicken strips, wings, ribs, etc I get from the grocery store? Is the item only 30% real meat?

It’s 100% real meat.
You probably heard that human body is roughly 70% water. Well, it’s similar with animals.
Proteins are just the types of molecules that make up your (and animal) body.
If you take a chunk of meat, ~30% of that chunk are proteins, ~10% fat, ~60% water, and less than ~1% of vitamins, minerals, and other stuff (exact percentages vary depending on what kind of meat we’re talking about).
