I eat a lot of legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and peas. I also include tofu made from soy, and nuts like almonds, peanuts, as well as seeds like chia, flaxseeds, and hemp. I use plant-based protein powders too specifically (https://lovecomplement.com/products/complement-organic-vegan...) when I drink green smoothies (3 to 4 meals a week).

Green leafy vegetables also has a lot protein (Kale, Broccoli and Brussels).

I use supplements for B12 which is missing from vegetable foods.

I used to eat fish but when I stopped all animal products I gave up fish as well. I guess if I have fish once in a while it won't hurt me but I have a tendency to overdo it. The main thing for me was to reduce the inflammation when I had the imbalance. This meant stopping everything I thought might cause inflammation until it went away.

My diet was also free of all salts, sugars and oils for few months though I do use them now.
