It's about time the adult lunchbox got a makeover. The Prepd Pack lunchbox isn't just fashionable — it also helps you plan and prepare lunch with a companion app that logs nutritional value.

There are lots of benefits to bringing a lunch to work, but sometimes it can be a hassle to plan healthy meals in the morning. "We decided to do something about it and address the problem through design," Prepd Pack designer Chris Place tells Tech Insider.

 

The outside of the Prepd Pack is made from bamboo. Inside, it looks similar to a bento box. The lunchbox comes with magnetic silverware and four BPA-free containers in a variety of portion sizes.

Prepd Pack's app works similarly to other meal planning apps (logging nutritional values, carbs, and so on), but the recipes and ingredients lists can be tailored to fit the Prepd Pack container sizes.

Place says his team works with professional chefs, home cooks, and nutritionists to come up with the app's recipes. Users can group recipes with similar ingredients to prep meals for the entire week.

The idea is to make lunchtime cheaper (packing versus buying a lunch saves you around $11 per day) and more sustainable . "Every large office has a huge pile of packaging waste every day after lunch," Place says. "When your bring your food from home you are not contributing to this problem."

In less than two days, the Kickstarter raised $100,000 — more than triple its funding goal. The first Prepd Packs will be available in June for $70.
