Of course many foods also have below 16% protein calorie denisty, fruits will be very low but most vegetables and whole grains are above 10% (which is all a norm needs anyhow). And this is of course without turning to soy products, which personally I quite enjoy eg tofu or vegan sausages etc or things that some people find difficult to find eg seitan, or vegan protein powders, all of which are way above 20%. The point is two fold, firstly we don't actually require that much protein, and secondly there are vegan sources that are more than ample.
lol you're preaching to the choir, here. I work out in the gym every day, and I'm also vegan. However, I've done some work calculating macros, and your math looks a little bit loose to me. For example, I think any 70kg guy who thinks he needs 3000 calories a day is likely wrong. We're talking at least a 10k run or equivalent and another hour of weight training each day, and even at that I'm not sure you'd hit 3000. I'd say anything more than a couple nuts or a tablespoon of peanut butter, and you're likely going to overshoot.
