This semester at uni i will be in uni 10.30am - 7pm on a thursday, with a 30min break at 1.30 and and hour break at 4.00

so i need ideas of what i can take in for my lunch and my dinner? i could get something there but its quite expensive and its on the other side of the campus to where i will be.
It would need to be something cold as i have no-where i could heat it up, i used to take in pasta with balsamic dressing, cucumber and carrot but im kinda bored of that now and i need something that will fill me up

any ideas?

    I've posted this before but I'll post it again, I LOVE Bento style lunches. There is a great website at http://lunchinabox.net/ with a fab FAQ and how to section. I also love Heidi Swanson's food blog at http://www.101cookbooks.com/index.html. It's a vegetarian blog, you can search by ingredient or dish and there are loads of great lunch ideas. Don't totally give up on the idea of a hot lunch either, you could always take soup in a Thermos. Good luck, I am in a total lunch rut right now.

    I carried to work Bumble Bee's pre-packaged Tuna Salad and Crackers as well as their Chicken Salad and Crackers. I would also carriy hard boiled eggs or just take a Zoic, Ensure, Glycerna - something on that order (Making sure I had all the nutrients without the added sugar) - using the drinks I enjoy a larger dinner.
