Any Lunch Box suggestions?

cwils35 · November 2015

So I need to be able to pack more vegetables in my lunch as I've been staying later at work and get snackier as the day goes - I'm trying to have less excuses to visit the snack machine...

I currently have http://amzn.com/B00HJ8DFGC but it is just too small. My salad Tupperware pretty much takes up the entire thing. today I had to take a second bag to have grapes, broccoli, and green beans. I'm looking for a lunchbox that can hold several servings of veggies/nuts/etc... and preferably on the masculine side. I'm a tall guy, so don't mind carrying a big lunchbox.

Thanks ahead for any suggestions!

Do you have fridge access at work?

Not really. We have a fridge but it is pretty gross and my food would be eaten by others.

I appreciate the bento box suggestions - they are really cool and I'm strongly considering supplementing my Tupperware stash with them but I suppose I should have specified by lunch box I mean a container for the boxes/bowls etc.

You know, I just use recyclable grocery bags. That fits everything.

That's how I supplemented my bag today

just concerned that the cooked veggies should be cold during the day.

Hmm, well I'm not much help there do to having good fridge access. But maybe a thermos for the veggies.

There are insulated grocery bags (sold near me at all the grocery stores fancy enough to sell reusable bags - I like the Trader Joe's ones) that combine well with a couple of icepacks to keep food cold. But when insulated lunchboxes aren't big enough, I haul out my REI Picnic Cooler, which would work to store several meals at work and is easy to carry around:

(The link says the product isn't available any longer, but if you click on "similar items" it shows a bunch of, well, similar items. Looks like the name for some of them is "camp cooler.")

They make loads of soft big lunchbags. I had one from when I worked 12 hrs a day 7 days a week. It was insulated and you can add ice packs to keep things colder. They might be found near other lunchboxes or near camping stuff.
