Vegetarians combine vegetables with other plant based foods to overcome that lack of amino acids. To form a complete meal source, vegetables dishes are combined with rice or naan which contain the amino acids lacking in vegetables. Remember that if the protein source is not complete as in the above example, the protein in vegetables is usually burned off as fuel.

In any type of food It is difficult to accurately determine the calorie content per portion as size differs between individuals and products, so the following numbers are only an estimate that you can use if calculating a your calorie intake.

Vegetables are an absolute nessecity in any diet, and while the carbs and calorie content can be somewhat minimal it is still important to count them in your overally total. This table will also help you choose the best vegetables or your dietary requirements.
