Avocados and olives have lots of fat. So do nuts and seeds (hard fruits). Beans, nuts and seeds are high in protein and there is plenty of calcium in these foods. The American Dietetic Association says that vegans get twice the protein that they need. Americans get way too much protein causing lots of problems.
A diet too high in protein causes the body to be acid and calcium is taken out of the bones to neutralize it and the calcium is urinated out. So meat-eaters have lots of calcium in their urine. No it will not help for them to drink their urine.
