Huh? 2200 calories of Brown rice would give only 50g protein, and 400g carbohydrates. It's not that you it's impossible to get lots of protein on a vegetarian diet - the issue is that it's very difficult to maintain a high ratio of protein to carbs and fat, since even 'high protein' beans and seeds etc have less than a 1:1 ratio.

Brown rice alone (at 1:8) has only a _slightly_ higher carb ratio than is typically recommended. Adding tofu, seitan, nuts, legumes, seeds, etc. will easily get you within a healthy ~2:5 range [1].
