lambda

What is wrong with my code? I seem to be thinking too hard

high_cal = filter(lambda key, value: value, [value for value in meals if value>1000])

meals.py 
meals = [
    {'name': 'cheeseburger',
     'calories': 750},
    {'name': 'cobb salad',
     'calories': 250},
    {'name': 'large pizza',
     'calories': 1500},
    {'name': 'burrito',
     'calories': 1050},
    {'name': 'stir fry',
     'calories': 625}
]

high_cal = filter(lambda key, value: value, [value for value in meals if value>1000])

Try this:

high_cal = filter(lambda dict_in: dict_in['calories'] > 1000, meals)
