I usually have some kind of protein packed lunch pack. I buy mine at Walmart in the produce section. They include cheese, fruit, nuts, etc. then some times I make my own and add boiled eggs
Salad, with sliced chicken, vegetables, balsamic vinagrette, almongs and cranberries. We have a great salad bar at work. I try and keep my lunch below 350 calories so this works for me.
Today it was leftovers - usually it's some sort of bowl consisting of quinoa, protein (chicken or salmon), and bunches of veggies. I like to throw in something pickled for a bit of tang. Convenient because I can eat it hot or cold depending on my work schedule.
My lunch is similar to just_Tomek.
Mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumber, steamed or baked chicken breast and top off with hemp seeds or pumpkin seeds. I also bring Soup during winter if I make a big batch for the week.
today I had a large albacore tuna salad sriracha wrap with hard boiled eggs, light mayo, mustard, dill relish and lettuce mixed in....cottage cheese, and a large salad with carrots, cherry tomatoes and strawberry balsamic vinaigrette.

Meal prep is key for me to stay on track at work (we do have a cafeteria here so it's hard to get off track if I come lunchless).
This week it's very simple ground chicken with green beans, divided into 5 portions. I cook on Sunday to last the week. Sometimes I do salad with protein, or boiled eggs with tuna/pickles. Nothing fancy, but easy that I can make once and log the week when I am tracking.
