Whey, casein, soy and other protein powders all have good amino acids profiles and are great for getting extra protein.
That being said vegetarians can get plenty of protein from eggs, cottage cheese, fat-free cheese, meat substitutes, beans, and many others.Food quality does not change the laws of thermodynamics. Provided you consume adequate protein, EFAs, fiber, and vitamins and minerals you can eat whatever you want.
The only difference between a 'clean' and a 'dirty' food is how much of it you eat.
The Glycemic Index is meaningless unless you eat carbs alone in a fasted state. As soon as you add fat, protein, or fiber to a meal or have eaten in the previous 4-6 hours the GI is irrelevant.
