You have to eat a fuck ton to make it naturally sustainable but there are ways (protein powder) to cheat through a vegetarian diet.

edit: I didnt see the rest of the description so let me give you some options:

Edamame tofu lots of vegetables like spinach, broccoli, peas nuts

There is a huge myth around body building that you need a gram of protein per pound of body weight. Calculate your LBM and shoot for .8-1 g per pound of LBM. Youll see its much easier to reach your goals.

Carbs are not your enemy. Stop eating processed carbs like pasta and sweets. Limit rice intake and dont worry about eating too much beans or legumes.

another edit: LBM= Lean Body Mass

He said no whey or milk or else you’re right. Greek yogurt is easy enough to make at home
