Nutritionally complete vegetarian proteins?

Hi all, looking to increase protein intake. Are there any vegetarian sources of protein (low in carbs) that may be as nutritionally complete as say chicken or beef? Trying to see what protein sources are complete enough that they can be eaten every day like meat.

soy, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, and nutritional yeast, as well as hemp and chia seeds

But you shouldn’t worry if you’re eating a normal variety of food.

Answer

vegan protein isolate mixes, dairy and soy

Answer

Lupini beans! My new discovery. Although you might consider them high in carbs, as far as I know, they are a complete protein with the highest protein content I have seen in a bean (almost 40g of protein per 100g of dried bean with only 40g of carbs)
