Anyone use Bento boxes?

I'm finding I need something more than the WMT divided cheap plastic containers.  If you have some, what configuration do you think works best?

I do for bringing salads to work. I have this one that I found on Amazon for $15. I like it, with the exception of the included fork. it's a little odd, and flat. but that's just personal preference.

I need one that will work for salads, protein, fruit and veggies. Yours might be a little too big.

I'm looking at them for DS right now, for kids so needs might be a bit different. My sister works daycare and recommends Stephen Joseph and 3 Sprouts for large compartments, easy to open, and easy to clean.

IKEA has some that look pretty good, they are probably more geared to adults, and definitely a bargain.

it's actually not as big as it looks when it's assembled. the bowl says it's 52oz, maybe 54? but I like a lot of lettuce, so that's bulky. 
basically, I'll put my protein in one of the quarter sections of the white thing, dry chopped veggies in the big half section, and wet stuff like diced tomatoes in the last quarter. guac or salsa generally goes in the salad dressing container.

obv YMMV, but it's good proportions for me. I do remember seeing that this company had a bunch of different configurations, so maybe they have different sizes as well. what I can absolutely vouch for is the quality of materials. I take public transportation now, and this thing has held up well. it's also dishwasher safe, although I hand wash the center container and fork due to being so small.

I ordered this one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MWC9VT5/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_image_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then also this: I've lost 4 #s and I intend to continue with this new eating plan, working with a dietician and also exercise. Ultimate goal is to fend off the depression and sadness. I am off the Xanax, and now take pharmacy compounding supplements. So far in 2 weeks, I've seen a big difference. Hope it continues.
