I need some new ideas for lunch..I do not have access to a microwave. What I typically take:

Greek Salad (romaine, tomatoes, feta cheese)
Oikos Nonfat Vanilla Yogurt (with a different fruit daily to change it up)
Baby Carrots

OR

Hummus
Baby Carrots, Celery, etc. (depends on what I have on hand) to dip OCCASIONALLY a medium sized pita
Oikos Nonfat Vanilla Yogurt (with a different fruit daily to change it up)

I need some new ideas! The ones I have so far are filling and low cal and high protein, but I don't want to get to get burnt out on them! Also, I can't take leftovers because others in my family typically do. What do you take for lunch?

    Watch out for that yogurt - vanilla comes with sugar. I like Plain low fat with fruit for breakfast.

    I like turkey pepperonis (lots of sodium, though). Take some fruit. Almonds. Hard boiled egg. I like to bring last night's leftovers for lunch. For example, turkey burger patties.
