Some proteins/fats/minerals/vitamins are really hard to find in "plant matter" though.

...which ones

 

In general, the composition of plants is a lot more diverse than that of meat. Further off from what you need, individually, but you have all the spikes you need to balance it out, if you do the math. 

 

The "best" diet is one thats varied/balanced, I think.

 

If you're not measuring it, this is probably true.

Vitamin B12 has already been mentioned multiple times in this thread.   It's pretty important too.  A Vitamin B12 deficiency has detrimental effects on the body.  Here's 6 more by the way:

7 Nutrients That You Can't Get From Plant Foods
  • Vitamin B12. 
  • Creatine. 
  • Carnosine. 
  • Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) .
  • Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) .
  • Heme-iron.
  • Taurine.
