High Protein Vegetarian Meals? (lemmy.world)

My wife and I are trying to eat a little less meat, starting with 1 dinner per week. I'm having trouble finding vegetarian recipes that can fit my desired macros for dinner, which are 52/41/16 C/P/F. I like tofu, but the protein/fat ratio isn't great for what I'm trying to get. I don't really love the "fake" meat substitutes and would rather eat real foods.

Any suggestions on high protein lower fat veggie mains or resources for recipies would be greatly appreciated.

Sweet! Thanks for this detailed response. I learned about vegetarian complete proteins when I visited Mesa Verde, the indigenous people would combine corn and black beans to get complete proteins. I appreciate the resources!
