I assume your dietician wants you to have more muscle.

Egg whites, whey protein, and meats are complete proteins. To get complete protein with a veggie protein, they need to cross veggies in it, or supplement it with standalone amino acids. There are practically no complete muscle proteins in a single vegetable source.

May I ask what caused you to lose so much weight and now makes it hard to gain some back? A moderate protein diet with health fats and veggies should normalize you.
