Actually, I'm more concerned about amino acid balance than protein totals. The total number of grams looks fine, but there are 8 or 9 amino acids that the human body can't synthesize (depends on whether or not methionine is one of them). The trick is to get enough of those particulare amino acids. A vegan diet can do this quite handily by combining grains with legumes, but I have to wonder if this raw diet is providing enough lysine specifically.
