Reddit reviews 10 Pack - SimpleHouseware 3 Compartment Food Grade Meal Prep Storage Container Boxes (36 ounces)

Does anyone have any meal prep containers they would recommend? Preferably, they would be divided and leak proof. I've seen these recommended a lot, but they don't appear to be leak proof. If there aren't other affordable "bulk buy" options then I will likely go with these.

I currently use some leak proof containers from BB&B for leftovers, but want to start meal prepping and would like to get some decent containers for transport to work, etc. without having to do dishes more frequently to get containers ready.

These are myths go to. They also make a container with two divided areas. I love them. They also hold up really well and are not flimsy at all.

Edit: these aren't exactly the same, but they're pretty darn close and rated highly

i got mine on amazon but walmart probably has them https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CYXUGOA/

I got these, and they definitely do the trick, but there are countless similar products available, depending on the quantity and compartments you're looking for. I bike to work so I wrap two elastic bands around before putting it in my bag which works well, nothing here has much liquid though.

For preference i would buy all glass with snapping lids.

like this:

But really, the cheap set of these are good too. all one size lid, and it isnt too big of a deal if you lose one.

I'm still new to meal prep, but this is what I'm using. 16 of them for $14.

If you click around, you should be able to find ones with partitions, like these.

Seems kinda wasteful. That plastic builds up and gets costly fast, here are some that I have that are reusable.

So I bought these simplehouseware containers to make meals to freeze and I'm not happy. When put in the freezer the plastic becomes very brittle and breaks easily. After three batches I'm out a couple lids.

A couple things I do/make:

• I cut all my strawberries for the week and weigh them out and pack them away in my meal prep containers. (5 oz of strawberries, one gala apple (~170-190 grams) and 33 gram of peanut butter (or 2 tbsp). I cut my apple the morning of because of them browning over time) ~325 calories for breakfast/morning snack.
  
• Make a greek yogurt tuna recipe that lasts about three lunches ( I double the recipe). I pack them in the same meal prep containers along with my Melba Toast Rounds and three pickles. ~300 calories for lunch.
  
• If I want chicken for lunches, I make a fajita dish. Super easy, I like to make more volume for this recipe, so I use three-four chicken breast cut into fajita sized slices seasoned any way you like your fajitas to taste and 4 bell peppers (any color you like, i use this) and one onion. I usually have my bf fire up the grill for the best taste. Or just pan fry them (which takes a lot longer to get that crispy look). ~200 give or take the quantity for lunch.

No problem! Got them on Amazon. A set of 10 is pretty cheap; I'm going to hope to get a year's worth of lunches out of them before I recycle and get a new set.

Those LOOK like the ones I have! I bought theeese

I want to see how yours hold up op! Mine are pretty decent!

Hey there!
I'm in a similar boat. 24 years old, just below (or at, depending on the day) 300lb mark. I hate it. I've been logging into myfitnesspal the last 80 days, but the past month has been rough.

For lunch at work, maybe getting these will help-- I bought them off of amazon and they held up well!: https://www.amazon.com/10-Pack-SimpleHouseware-Compartment-Container/dp/B01CYXUGOA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1499200179&sr=8-4&keywords=lunch+containers+with+dividers

Are you on MyFitnessPal by any chance? They have lots of tips on different types of meal plan. If you're not struggling with food addiction, then the simplest thing is everything in moderation, and those containers really help with that. If you think you are struggling with food addiction then Overeaters Anonymous is a great resource: https://oa.org/

Best of luck to you, slow and steady, you got this!
