A couple of things stood out for me:

• Dal and chickpeas are decent, but you need proper quantity
• Peanut butter/nuts look high, but you are also eating a lot of calories
• Stuff like oats/bread adds up, but slowly

Basically, veg protein is doable, but you can't rely on just one thing. You need to mix sources.

Would be interesting to know how people here are managing protein daily, especially if you are vegetarian.

A 24 year old software engineer ended up on dialysis after having cola coloured urine and extreme fatigue. His kidney function was severely affected.

He was a regular at the gym and like many people balancing a desk job with fitness goals, he wanted faster and more visible results. In the process, he blindly trusted his gym instructor and started using locally sourced protein and supplement powders with unclear labelling because they were cheaper. That decision cost him his health.

If you are buying supplements, make sure the brand is reliable and the source is trusted.
