# Equivalent Recipes (Calories)

Use the `similarCaloriesRecipes` query to obtain recipes equivalent in macronutrient distribution as the one provided in the argument. Use the `size` argument to indicate the number of recipes returned.

If you already have a meal from a `mealPlan` query, you can use the `serving` argument to find more recipes. The recipes in the response will also have a `serving` field to know how many of the total numbers of servings have to be served to keep a similar amount of calories.

| **Arguments** | **Type** | **Required** |                                                **Description**                                               |
| ------------- | :------: | :----------: | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| `recipeId`    |    ID    |     True     |                                Recipe to which equivalents are to be returned                                |
| `serving`     |    Int   |     False    |                            The number of recipe servings served. Default to **1**.                           |
| `size`        |    Int   |     False    | <p>Define the number of returned recipes. </p><p>If this parameter is not sent, the default number is 3.</p> |

### Example

The following example returns recipes equivalent to the recipe ID provided in the argument. Since the `size` parameter is not defined, by default, the number of recipes retrieved is 3.
