If you're looking for a high-protein plant food, consider QUINOA, a grain from South America (Peru). Half a cup of cooled quinoa contains 4g of protein, 17g of net carbs, and 111 calories.  Otherwise, many animal foods are high in protein and low in carbs (fish, meat, eggs) but many are also high in saturated fat (and calories).  Choose wisely. 
Lentils and beans are relatively high in protein and contain healthy carbohydrates. What is your reason for wanting foods that contain both nutrients?
