> Rice for breakfast and peas for lunch

Very probably. The duration scale your body assimilate amino acids together is about 12h-36h IIRC. Most plant eaters I know don’t bother counting anything at all, and the natural craving helps: if I eat a full meal of rice, the peas will be more appealing for the next meal than another bowl of rice. But for taste and texture it’s often better to mix many things in the same meal.
