Use Rice Cakes instead of bread.
Rice, Beans, + any veggies + any meat + sauce

You could make a big old batch of chili and bring it to work along with a side salad.

Soup is always a good option, especially since it can be any type of soup.

If you are trying to make a better sandwich, you could do a wrap or something like that.

Lettuce wraps are tasty.

I just got done eating lunch. I get tired of the same salad or yogurt that I make too. Here's what I just had:

1/2 of a Joseph's flax oat bran & whole what pita
spinach leaves,
dijon mustard
Finlandia lacey swiss cheese 1 oz
2.7 oz buffalo chicken, deli

15 green grapes, 100 grams

the lunch was a total of 259 calories

more than enuf for lunch, at least for me. it'll tide me over very well til supper-time.

You could certainly substitute romaine for spinach; other cheese for the swiss; or turkey or beef for the chicken. It's definitely a nice change.

Good luck and enjoy!
EDIT: oh and the 2.7 oz of chicken was a LOT of meat in there. It could easily have been a tad less and been just as good.

I bring left overs from dinner the night before.

Looking at your diary. 700 calories is never a good ideal. Eat. The. Bread.

I didn't think the OP said exactly why she is avoiding bread. It may have nothing to do with calories.

Try these for lunch. I love them and they are filling!
Wrap a string cheese in Oscar Mayer deli oven roasted turkey breast { I use about 3 slices}

What's wrong with bread?? You diary is looking pretty lite in calories. Crash/restrictive diets don't work for the long term. Eat. the. bread.

Ground turkey, scrambled eggs, and fresh salsa. That's my new go to.

I used to have tuna with real mayo, but I went overboard and gave myself low levels of mercury poisoning. A family pack of tuna, 5 times a week for 6 months will mess you up one day...

I keep my lunches pretty small too, because I like having big dinners. It's been part of what has kept me on track for the last couple years.

My lunches mostly consist of: salads, veggies with hummus, wraps with veggies and/or salsa and refried beans, soup, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs. I'll usually add a piece of fruit as well.

I LOVE lettuce wraps. you can put anything in them. Sometimes I make taco beef (lb of ground beef, 2 tbsp Taco Seasoning I from allrecipes.com, 3 oz chopped onion, garlic clove.) or taco chicken (same as before but with lb of chicken), Avacado, Hummus, and cucumber. the possibilities are endless.

I've started mixing together a tuna pouch, boiled egg and avocado. No dressings or anything. Very yummy. I've thought about putting that in a lettuce wrap. I've also done cottage cheese, cherry tomatoes and avocado. The microwave just for one broccoli,cheese and rice with a pouch of tuna in it is also really good. All pretty low calorie but filling.

The 700 calorie day was because my parents dog went missing and we spent 8 hours walking around the whole of my home town to find her! so by the time I got home in the evening I had just about enough energy to make some spaghetti and fall into bed!!

I just find bread such a waste of calories as I don't want to have huge calorie lunches, I would rather save them to have for evening meals with my partner.

I'm a big fan of the chilli idea, definitely going to try that one! and also carrots, cucumber etc with cottage cheese
