Hey guys,
I'm looking for a reasonably priced set of containers I can use for meal prepping. I've seen a bunch on Instagram that look convenient (with a bag, perhaps) but I have no idea where to get them. I guess I'm looking for ones that are more geared towards fitness rather than just buying some glad Tupperware from a Target.
Any help would be appreciated!

Tupperware, Glad Ware, or Rubber Maid... not sure what makes you think it being more 'fitness' related would matter in any way at all.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

Protip: rubbermaid containers are actually better than most containers advertised for "bodybuilding meal prep."
You can spend 100$ or more on a 6 Pack Bag or another fitness system meal bag, or you can buy a few containers at Target for 1.50$ a piece and a small cooler for 15$ and save yourself a lot of money.Psych & handcuffs

I'm just saying one that is "fitness related" could potentially help in the fact that it may come with a bag or a cooler, or is portioned out across serving sizes/number of daily meals to make things more convenient for someone on the go or spends most of the day at work. That is what I mean by "fitness related".
Thanks rhadam, I'll look into that option!

I've gone through a lot of Tupperware. They are hard to clean and get funky after a while from heat. For x-mas my wife got me two different sets made by Pyrex. It's glass ware with quality lids and clean very easily. The sizes are more appropriate for me. The average tubberware holds 2.5-3 cups. I need at least 4 to hold my meat and veggies.

x2 for Pyrex. Not sure if I fully trust plastic being reheated over and over again. And they're durable as hell
