An arm mounted transporting tray for food containers which takes the form of essentially a flat base which has a raised lip around its peripheral edge. Within the flat base is located a groove arrangement which will conduct any spilled liquids to an opening formed within the base which will then be deposited within an internal reservoir that is formed within a graspable handle that is mounted on the undersurface of the base. Also mounted on the undersurface of the base is an upper arm engagement which keeps the tray correctly aligned on the user's arm.
