It is still a ridiculous amount of calories though even without sugar. 180 calories for 8 grams of protein is barely making a scratch in the amount you need for a high protein diet. It has 6x the calories per gram of protein as chicken breast.

If you ate nothing but peanut butter, you'd need about 12.5 servings or 2250 calories of just peanut butter to reach 100 grams of protein. That doesn't mean you should start eating meat of course, but I honestly don't have a good solution to getting body builder levels of protein as a vegan.
