Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, meals are often planned around a larger lunch (comida) and a lighter dinner (cena). Discussing a 'plan de comidas' can imply thinking about balanced nutrition, family gatherings, or even the traditional 'tapas' culture. Remember that the word 'comida' can refer to the main midday meal, not just any food, so context matters.
