What is a Bento Box?

A bento box is a single-portion take-out or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento holds rice or noodles, fish or meat, with pickled and cooked vegetables, in a box. Bento boxes are also available in many places worldwide and can vary greatly in their contents and portion sizes.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{TC} = (200 \times 1) + (4 \times 100) + (50 \times 2) = 200 + 400 + 100 = 700 \text{ kcal} \]

The total calories are 700 kcal.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{TC} = (200 \times 0.5) + (4 \times 150) + (50 \times 1) = 100 + 600 + 50 = 750 \text{ kcal} \]

The total calories are 750 kcal.
