For me, all I do is try to eat food where the percent calories of proteins is >11%, which is just about 80% of all whole foods with the exception of things like fruits and avacados. Most whole grains are between 11-17%, beans 15-22%, nuts 11-20%, veggies 10-35%, mushrooms are ~30-40%, Spinach 30%, Pak Choi 30%, sprouts 40%, [1]
I juice and take the pulp which is essentially all protein and fiber and mix it in with a nice stew. It thickens it and adds subtle flavor. The heat + water increases the digestability of the proteins.
The juice contains all the nutrient, so I get the best of both worlds. :) jv
[1] you can pretty much live indefinitely strictly on a diet of mushrooms and spinach.
