What I have discovered so far about Plant-Based eating and Protein

In the discovery phase of my plant-based eating experiment, one of the things I was most curious about (and still am) is protein. 

I was especially curious about looking into some of the more commonly cited sources of plant-based protein.  Ever heard "Quinoa is a great source of plant protein"? I've heard that a bunch of times, but never really dug in deep on it. 

Until now.

Below is a chart I made that outlines how much protein is in a variety of plant-based foods. I tend to view the quality not only by the amino acid profile, but also on the protein to carbohydrate ratio. In other words, how many carbs am I am eating in relation to how much protein I am getting? For me, like for many, it matters in terms of blood sugar control and a tendency to gain fat when I eat more carbs.

Do any of these surprise you like they surprised me? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below.
