Traditional meatloaf recipes sometimes use uncooked oats. They cook in the oven. If it”s like chewing gravel, I”d suspect the lentils first. If you add salt to lentils early in their cooking, they”ll stay a little crunchy. I usually don”t add salt to lentils until they”re done. If I”m going to use them in a recipe, like this one, I wouldn”t salt them at all.
