    What about salads? Today I took to work a salad along with my left over ribeye from Texas Roadhouse and cut it up and put it in the salad. Then I brought a yogurt too. Yum!

    Also, since this lifestyle change I find that peanut butter is a great help. I have PB&J sandwiches are great too!

    buy oven roasted chicken sliced deli meat, its usually only 50 cal for 3 slices. Make roll-ups out of them plain or with a piece of cheese if you want a lo-carb meal or make a sandwich on whole grain bread, But if you make a sandwich make sure not to use fattening dressings; honey mustard tends to not be too bad. Good Luck!

    I agree with Amber... I pack my husband's lunches everyday. Since he has no way of heating anything up, i pack him salads with chicken breast slices, tuna fish sandwiches (with the bread separate, so no sogginess!), or PB&J sandwiches.

    yogurt and muesli used to be my favourite
    fruit salad with yogurt

    as for salads... some of my favourite ones (thanks for reminding me!)
    -chicken salad
    - salad with rice, sweetcorn etc
    - egg salad

    another idea is try changing the bread and the fillings of the sandwiches every day so you have more variety :)

    hope this helps!

    Wraps! You can change up the vegetables everyday, change up the sauce, hummus one day then maybe mayo/mustard the next.

    Sandwiches - same deal with the wraps...

    Pasta salad.. just make some up the night before so you can just pack it and go for the next day.
