I love that you can have different sizes of plates for each meal, so if it's not enough food to fill up your plate (or stomach) then no worries! My favorite is having my breakfast/lunch on one side with some veggies or fruit in between meals when traveling because its easy access by just reaching over instead of taking an extra step out from where i'm sitting at dining area table. Also how convenient are these containers? When we travel they're perfect because all 3 kids will eat their own individual portions without running into conflicts while eating together.
