Not to muddy the waters, but being a vegetarian you're going to have to be more creative in combining foods to get whole proteins. Carnivores have an advantage in that meat usually contains complete proteins. Rice and beans is a good example of a combination of foods which form complete proteins. I suspect there are websites that would list more such combinations.

Have you had steel cut oats? They're the whole oat groat which is cut into pieces (usually thirds), and not processed (i.e., not steamed and rolled flat) so they take longer to digest, and will help keep you satiated for a longer time.

Welcome to the forum, and keep up the good work.
