I've been really happy with this brand, these are the ones I got, https://www.amazon.com/Compartment-Containers-Lifetime-Microwave-Dishwasher/dp/B0768T7CWC
It's really cool that your gf wants to start meal prepping, she definitely should give it a try! :)
​
Bear with me in case this turns into a 'novel'...
​
The first and maybe best piece of advice I can give is to take the whole mystique out of it. Meal prepping really is not some mysterious, ritualized, uncharted intimidating endeavor that you need to meticulously set up for. There's honestly not much more to it than cooking foods that you (1)enjoy and (2)will keep well for a few days in the fridge and/or freezer. As much as people hate to hear it, and there honestly is a debate over this, meal prepping can really be thought of as glorified leftovers. You cook a meal and eat it later on. To some people that qualifies as leftovers. To others, you might as well have cursed their sweet granny to burning hell for even daring to say that. Semantics.
​
You'll want to first decide your purpose for meal prepping.
​
Get an idea of the purpose of your meal prepping. Then you'll get into equipment.

Yummy, now the food part:
As far as meal prep recipes, your limit is Google. Literally Google and Pinterest and anywhere else you can find a recipe, so basically the sky is the limit. Many dishes can be made into a meal prep - the recipe does not have to be "meal prep specific". Spaghetti and meat sauce can be a meal prep (my husband had that last week). Casseroles, meat dishes, slow cooker meals like stroganoff or pot roast, pasta dishes, Asian food dishes, fish...too many to name, as long as it will keep well for a few days and reheat well. Again, your purpose for meal prepping comes into play big time here:
Looks like the same set I have:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0768T7CWC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The lids have silicon rubber gaskets, which are very easy to remove and put back in place. There's a bunch of different "brands" selling the same product. Here's another:

[LARGER PREMIUM 5 SET] 2 Compartment Glass Meal Prep Containers with Lifetime Lasting Snap Locking Lids Glass Food Containers BPA-Free, Microwave, Oven, Freezer and Dishwasher Safe (4.5 Cups, 36 Oz.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0768T7CWC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cq80AbS9CFZRD
The containers are good size, but the lids don't seal well. Some lids stay closed, some pop off. Not too happy with them. I bough them on Amazon here.
However, I bough this and they snap shot and work perfectly.
BTW: This breakfast is too big. Next week, I'll need to scale it down a bit.

Yep! Got them off of amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0768T7CWC/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_8qfQBb1X7XTFF
They’re spendy but worth it. I never had too many problems with plastic ones but these are more robust and easier to clean.
I have these for my boyfriend, I have a smaller set for me. The top is plastic but the container is glass
Hopefully this helps.

Highly recommend people using plastic containers switch to glass for your health. Heated plastic releases potentially toxic chemicals.
Bought one of each of the following last week. One has a partition, the other doesn't. They're about the same size.
