What makes these high protein recipes different?

High-protein recipes on Melio are filtered by per-serving grams, not per-100g percentages, which is what actually matters for satiety and recovery. Protein values come from USDA-style reference data computed against the ingredient grams; complete-protein sources (animal protein, soy, dairy) and combined plant-protein recipes (legumes + grains) are both eligible. Recipes that hit a high protein percentage but a low absolute grams-per-serving (a salad with two ounces of chicken, for example) do not qualify.
