Partially because of pant size. I have to buy bigger waist, which means the whole pants themselves are usually baggy on me. I don't want to be super thin in that area.

5g of x is not equal to 5g Protein of y

The Amino Acid profiles differ and there is some scale called the biological value of the protein which tells how "good" and complete the certain foods protein is.
There are essential and non essential amino acids and some special amino acids that trigger specific responses in your body and are needed for very important processes

the protein in non meat/dairy foods.meaning all the veggie and carb/nuts etc stuff is pretty much inferior to any other "real" food that is protein heavy

Yes, I know that most non-animal protein isn't complete. I also know that in a day's intake there is always a mixture of complete and incomplete proteins (and I'm not some vegan protein cocktail wanna be scientist) with the end result being enough to support the goals of most folks.

I'm not personally a huge fan of an animal protein heavy breakfast outside of cutting when it's necessary.

there is no targeted spot reduction of bodyfat possibly

as slacker said,it`s a genetics thing and since one mostly has not that much bodyfat on the legs you can only reduce your overall bodyfat and lose some size by that or stop/reduce training legs

some apple chunks with cinn sprinkled on them, warmed up in the microwave, with cottage cheese is pretty amazing for breakfast... along with eggs or shake haha

sean if your not currently working out, you might be able to lean up you entire body and get stronger.... legs included in that.
