Dictionaries for Categorization
Learn Python dictionaries by grouping meals by type (e.g., Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner).
The project
You’ve been tracking your meal calories daily, but right now they’re just numbers in a list. Wouldn’t it be more useful if you could organize meals by type? For example, group all breakfasts together, all lunches together, and all dinners together.

Breakfast: 400Lunch: 600Dinner: 300
It's nice, but it doesn’t help you calculate totals for each category. What you need is a dictionary, a structure that stores data as key–value pairs so you can categorize and organize calories by meal type.
