Bento Box
Before I lost my job I used a bento box for the day and a thermas for my home-made beef broth i ate daily for a snack. I got my bento at amazon and have seen them recently at Marshalls and TJ Maxx.
I dont think it matters where or how you store your food. What is important is preparation for the week so you have the food available and a handy storage unit to store it in. I prefer an insulated soft lunch bag with a mechanism to keep everything cold like a freezee. I want to store my Preimer protein drinks in my to go bag and cannot with a bento. I also like to bring a couple large frozen bottles of water with me and cannot with a bento.
Whatever you do, just be prepared, know what works for you, and you will be fine.
Best,
Sharon

I have a container fetish and particularly love bentos and lunch-type boxes. Bentos help me in two ways: they are visually appealing and make the meal just a little but more special. Secondly, because they are so small our small portions fit in them nicely..I hate having a big container with a little bit of food in it!
Before surgery I often times used a Mr. Bento food jar for lunch. Now I use Mr. Bento for breakfast and lunch and sometimes a snack too!
I also have a couple like this but I think they are slightly smaller.
This one is a fav too but I stick a bottle of water in it rather than use the silly square bottle.

Love them!!!! They are really perfect for school. I have several for work, but here is my favorite at the moment:

They really help to keep lunches interesting. 1 spot a few bing cherries, another a few slices of cucumbers, a third cottage cheese. The larger can hold more entree type fair or soup. The water bottle is tiny relatively speaking, but if you mix a shake at home this would be a nice size for it.
Many Japenese versions are not bpa free, dishwasher safe, or microwave safe so if that is something you want be sure it is listed specifically.
