box meal
Pre-portioned takeout container
A box meal is a complete meal packaged in a single container, typically for convenience or portability.
The term covers prepared meals sold at convenience stores or fast-food restaurants, meal kits with pre-portioned ingredients for home cooking, and individually boxed servings at catered events: We grabbed box meals at the airport.
