Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores green lentils at a serving of 1/4 cup (23g) boiled, or 1/2 cup canned and rinsed; at 1/2 cup (95g) boiled or more it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
