>Could you suggest some vegetable sources of protein that might have been used at the time, that would not be considered a carb
It’s doesnt matter if a vegetable is considered a carb, that can still have a significant amount of protein.
Some that fall in that category include: broccoli, spinach, asparagus, peas, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, (as others has said legumes).
In my own regimen when I was trying to maintain ketosis while eating vegitarian I ate a lot of seeds and nuts, they of course have carbs but significant amounts of fat/protein. Also I had tons of coconut oil and coconut butter (about the best fat you can get from an energy perspective medium chain triglyceride).
They may not have had canola, but olive oil was a big staple, and that’s an example of a non-meat that packs significant calories and fat.
