Currently I am working on getting my body fat down and improving my strength. This entails taking in my body weight plus some(in grams) of protein. Taking in this amount of protein and keeping the carbs at or under the protein level while eating only plant based foods, is impractical. The only way to hit protein goals is with with shakes, a lot of them. While I like the idea of an all plant diet, it just doesn't work for me currently.
