Hi Bento 101 followers! Hopefully you have at least gotten a start on the list of your favorite, bento/packed lunch-friendly foods as described in the first lesson. You may want to keep the list lying around and add to it as inspiration strikes. This approach works pretty well for me, and it's actually how I think up up the bento-friendly recipes I add to this site.
Let's move on to the next topic: what to put your bento lunch in. We will get into more detail about this next week, since many people in my experience get stuck on this point. Some people go out and get a bento box and find it too small, or too big, or just not usable for some reason. Others look at the tiny looking boxes pictured online and think, "no way am I going to be full eating just that". Then there are people who want to lose or maintain their weights with bento lunches and think that getting a tiny one is the answer. In other words, there's quite a bit of confusion.
