I default to preparing and eating my food in a bowl. Pretty much anything can go in one, and you don't need any bread to hold your food together. Plus, it's less messy.

Lot of great suggestions above.

If you're eating white bread, it's a good idea to switch to whole grain - a lower glycemic index, so it stays with you a tad bit longer and doesn't spike blood sugar as much.

Open-faced sandwiches.

In addition to standard bread, there are wraps like Damascus Bakeries and Tumaro's. They're a little fragile, but you can roll up a sandwich's worth of fillings in 80 calories.

If your office has a 'wave, when you make stews and such for dinner, store single servings in the freezer. Pull one out the night before, and there you are.

We used to have a big staff at work and still have a big fridge, so I'll sometimes bring in a rotisserie chicken and slice off a bit each day for lunch, 2 to 3 oz at a meal (I keep a scale in the office kitchen, too). (most of the breast may go home for supper sandwiches for 3 of us.) Sometimes as a sandwich, sometimes just on the plate, sometimes appetizer-style on slices of cucumber or Mary's Gone Crackers. (Which aren't my favorite, but I bought this box at Costco ... and they're not bad, just not a treat.)
