Legumes and cereals both have protein, but they both lack some amino acids, while the body needs them in a certain proportion. However, they complement each other in regard to which of the essential amino acids they have, so one should eat both.
I get super firm tofu and use half the block in an orange chicken and rice dish. The tofu block is 72g in protein, so halving that gets me a solid chunk of protein to end the day.
Also, don’t forget, spy and almond milk are fortified and have higher calcium than real milk.
Lastly, if youre feeling down about not finding b12, redbull has 1200% of your daily b12 vitamins lol! Not the healthiest advise at the end, but still haha
Corn, beans, and squash is technically a viable diet and was used by a few native american groups for centuries. Its a full protein and very nutritionally dense. It is called the three sisters but they sometimes consumed sunflowers as a fourth sister for their fat content.
You can pretty much survive on black beans and onions.
Iirc, beans have everything you need except for vitamin c, but I could be wrong about that.
You’re unlikely to be lacking most nutrients in a first world country, even eating tons of junk food.
That’s not me saying it’s okay to live on junk food, that’s me saying essential nutrients aren’t going to be your problem.
Edit:
I looked it up. You’ll be missing some components of a complete protein, so eat some grains too.

Also seaweed for Taurine.
Red beans and rice is a good dish that will give you vital protein.
And a bit of lime juice for acid will make it taste great and round out a few more vitamins.
And combat scurvy!
Ooh I love red beans and rice! Epic
