Lunch recipes prioritize protein and fiber per serving over calorie volume, because that's the combination that predicts an afternoon without a slump. Macros come from USDA-style reference data against ingredient grams, prep + cook time is broken out separately so meal-preppers can plan, and recipes that hold up well after refrigeration (most salads, grain bowls, soups, wraps) are tagged so you don't waste prep effort on something that wilts.
