Upon more reading it appears some are saying these protein powders are bad quite simply BECAUSE they are lacking in things like Methionine, and thus have a poor amino acid profile.

I consume a lot of gelatin and just enough meat to end up getting adequate amounts of all the essential aminos including methionine. You could do the same with pea protein.
