When I took anthropology back in the mid 1970s we were already told that studies on existing modern hunter gatherer populations found that nearly 70% of the calories consumed came from the gatherers and not the hunters.

 We know that Neanderthals were more heavily reliant on meat. There's
been isotopic analysis claiming they appeared more carnivore than
predators.
   

They survived in ice age Europe and likely had a diet more like Inuits for most of the year, but the inuits would still eat as much vegetation as they could get their hands on.  They could get the vitamin C that they needed from the animals that they ate, but it would not have been considered to be a more than adequate source.  Utzi the ice man carried berries with him when he died.
