Those numbers for the grains are for uncooked...ex. a cup of cooked barley has only 3 grams of protein. Plus the protein is incomplete. Same for potatoes.
Fruit? I can't think of any fruit that has significant protein.
Protein and fat are what keep me not hungry. Carbs just put me (and most people) on an insulin rollercoaster.
Really, no protein? How do you remove it from the grains, legumes, vegetables and fruit?
beef, poultry and fish have 7 grams of protein per ounce.
soybeans have 10 grams/ounce, lentils have 6.5 grams/ounce, potatoes have 5 grams/ounce.
as for grains - barley has 19 grams in a cup, couscous is 22 grams/cup, whole grain wheat is 16 grams/cup.
Animals are not the only source of protein!

Hey Rick
Thanks for the info. I am pretty good about what to follow, though I didn't know about the website. I basically like to have a list for when I go shopping. 1. This keeps me honest, 2. It gives me ideas for what I want to cook, 3. I try and stay away from certain fruits and vegetables that normally are considered good for you, but are higher on the index (like red delicious apples, or carrots).
I don't eat dairy myself and other than wild caught fish (never farmed) I don't eat proteins. Just don't care for it. So, for me grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, etc are the mainstay of my diet. You know, you live it too. :)
Thanks again.
Sincerely
Jennifer Lupo, D.M.
