Guys i just found out that pumpkin seeds have a wooping 19g of protein per 1/4 of a cup, more than any other nut or seed. so my question is, how come i never hear of this being included in diets?

Pumpkin seeds do a body good, of this there can be no doubt.
However, if I'm not mistaken, nuts and seeds are incomplete proteins. They lack a complete amino acid profile and therefore should not be used as primary protein sources. You can mix them with other 'incompletes' to round out the amino profile....
Vegetarians combine nuts and seeds to form complete proteins with healthy fats. Maybe a pumpkin seed-walnut blend?
