What “High Protein” means here
High-protein means 30+ grams of protein per main, lean cooking methods (grilled, baked, seared), and portions sized to actually fuel a workout or recovery day — not a token chicken add-on.
Chicago is known for pizza, steakhouse, Polish, and BBQ, which makes it a strong city for high protein meals — the local restaurant mix gives the AI plenty to work with when it picks dishes that match your goal.
