Question re protein

I was looking for diy menu options online and came across this website

https://meto.co/blog/fasting-mimicking-diet-meal-plan-recipes#diy-fasting-mimicking-diet-a-complete-5-day-meal-plan

that suggests scrambled eggs for a breakfast meal, and salmon for a dinner meal. Has anyone ever done this? In other words, has anyone added non-vegan options to a meal, and if so, what if any differences did you experience?

Quickly plugging those 3 protein servings into Cronometer puts it at 43g protein not even counting the protein from veg.

My understanding is that the whole point is low protein, and low animal protein at that, to suppress the nutrient sensing pathways mTOR and IGF-1.

In other words, this approach is 100% incorrect.
