Selection of lunch boxes to eat healthy and inexpensive at the office
The lunch box: what is it?
Lunch box translates to "meal box". However, the lunch box is not a box per se. Rather, they are multiple containers that are meant to carry your food. The number of containers may change depending on the boxes. They can be compartmentalized or not. They have the particularity of being completely hermetic. As a result, your meal will stay fresh until lunchtime.
The lunch box is an invention that comes to us from Japan. In the land of the rising sun, the lunch box is called “bento”. Bento has been used there for decades. It has even become essential for the Japanese. So much so that the term bento no longer refers only to the container, but also to the contents of the box. If once the bento was literally just a simple box, today it is different. There are modern models that keep your meal hot for several hours.
Nowadays, the lunch box has become more popular all over the world.
Eating healthy at the office? It's possible with the lunch box
In the office, for lack of time or resources, we get into the habit of taking the easy way out. Fast food is very popular with office workers. It is practical, inexpensive and it stalls for the day. Frozen ready meals are also very popular. In other words, we don't always eat healthy at the office.
This may change with the lunch box. Since you prepare your own meal, you can choose what to put in your box. You can very well opt for a salad or steamed vegetables. Why not spinach pasta or rice with ground beef? With the lunch box you have perfect control over everything you eat. You can very easily continue to track your eating habits. You will no longer be forced to opt for solutions that are too greasy or stuffed with sugar.
As mentioned above, there are lunch box models that keep food warm. For example, you can opt for a lunch box with many compartments. In the lowest compartment, pour a very hot soup then place the rest of your meal on top. As the box is airtight, it does not let the heat go. In addition, the bottom box will take care of keeping the other compartments warm. As you have understood, the lunch box does not only carry cold meals.
An economical solution
We don't think about it enough, but the lunch budget can easily go through the roof. Restaurant, fast food or frozen, at the end of the month, they can be quite expensive. In general, preparing your meals at home is cheaper than buying them in stores. This is why the lunch box, in addition to allowing you to eat healthy, saves you money. Cook as you usually do. Put one part for the office, and the other part for when you get home. By preparing your meal yourself, you choose your menu and your products yourself. Pick the ones that fit your budget and get cooking.
