I've noticed something about my own packing and eating habits. I pack a nice Lunch for hubby, but my own Elevenses tends to be mostly "a bowlfull of whatever didn't fit into his box" or other leftovers. (It's still portion-controlled, which is the selling point for pre-plating my food.)
An example from last week; I had a two-cup bowl where the bottom was green beans that didn't fit in box#1, then a good helping of mashed potatoes that didn't fit into box#1, a tiny slice of meatloaf that didn't fit into box#2, and a taste of taco meat leftover from the night before.
Today is actually fairly balanced vs his lunch because I had half a snackbox of sliced apples with walnut and cheese trimmings for second breakfast, (he had as much as the snackbox would hold,) and I have a matching container of leftover chicken soup. Though mine has all the noodles where he has a biscut to add.
Do you pack yourself a bento when you pack another person's bento? Do you have a "less fussy" version of the other person's bento? Do you just eat whatever or nothing when they're not around?
