Answer

Lentils are famously low in methionine, it’s considered their “drawback” nutritionally, but personally I’ve began to suspect low methionine content could be positive, since it essentially lets you eat a low protein diet (if you want) without having to cut most amino acids.

Animal protein (usually) have a more complete amino acid profile, so they’ll have plenty of all amino acids, including methionine.
