For your snacks, you can take the Power Bar or whatever it is you're eating, and cut it up into bite-sized bits, then put it in a little zip lock bag, like snack size, http://www.zombierunner.com/store/baggies.html (that place sells them if you can't get them where you live) and put that in your Bento Box.
