Answers: GOOD QUESTION! Bento is my fave food of all time, it has so many good flavours and like you said, is low in fat. The typical bento is made up of:
*a light salad
*short grain rice (buy Japanese short grain rice at a grocery store)
*tempura (no way to lower the fat, but try using veggies instead of prawns, sorry!)
*spring rolls (you may find these in a supermarket, but I have included a recipe)
*a meat - chicken, beef or pork

Just look for bento boxes that don' have a lot of dressing, sauces and deep fried foods.
Also, more importantly, increase your activity level.
