Preferably healthy. 
Mine lately include:
lettuce wraps -- deli-sliced turkey, sliced cheese, and mustard on romaine (other than iceberg, more suitable lettuce is difficult to find where I shop);
hard-boiled eggs with yellow mustard, served with deli-sliced turkey;
pureed vegetable soup -- typically broccoli florets blended with chicken broth, minced garlic, and grated parmesan, also served with deli-sliced turkey;
poached egg on whole-grain bread, extra whites for extra protein;
green salad -- my standard combination is romaine, shredded white-meat chicken or hard-boiled egg, and cherry tomatoes, paired with either Bolthouse's Caesar-Parmigiano yogurt dressing, or crumbled feta with plain Greek yogurt.

I have wraps every day for lunch. Either with grilled chicken or egg salad and loaded with veggies. I almost always add an avacado. The sides are carrots and grape tomatoes.
I also rather enjoy a peanut butter banana and honey wrap, grilled of course.
I bake a lot, so I have tons of healthy cakes, cookies and granola bars to satisfy my sweet tooth!
Oatmeal for breakfast every day that I work. I used to add pumpkin, raisins and spices, but lately I have been adding in shredded coconut, pineapple and shaved almonds. I always toss in some chia, hemp and flax seeds, too. So filling and delicious. I mix it all up the night before with almond milk and it is ready to eat in the morning. I just heat it up enough to warm it. 0 -
I work full time so finding healthy go-to lunches have been difficult. I've found that instead of eating 3 meals it's easier for me to eat several small healthy snacks throughout the day. That way I'm not inclined to over indulge when I get hungry. Oatmeal w/ a side of sliced apple or banana seems to be the only "meal" that can keep me full for longer than an hour and I usually have that when I get into work in the AM.0

I have been eating a bowl of Kellog's frosted mini wheats with with a banana sliced on top (I eat this as a before bed snack most nights).
I am also a daily oatmeal, blueberries, fried egg for breakfast eater.
I try to make a big salad in the morning and fry up some chicken tenderloins to eat with it. I like my chicken hot on a nice crisp fresh salad.
Greek yogurt, cashews, oranges, smart ones meals ( I know they are prepackaged and prob. have too much salt, but they usually have right around 300 cal. and that is perfect for a snack when pinched for time).0 -
Ummmm I love food
Snacks:
Oranges, Nuts, Jello sugar free pudding snacks, graham crackers with sliced stawberries and sugar free whipped cream (frozen), Veggies with dip, Reduced fat ritz crackers with peanut butter, frozen greek yogurt bars (my new favorite, I'm going to the store today to stock up! They are on sale.)
Meals:
Whole wheat bagel thin with egg and cheese. Sometimes with tomato and/or turkey.
LOTS of salads. Sauteed chicken tossed with avocado and red onion over lettuce and tons of veggies (I buy the carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower bags from walmart).
Flatbread pizzas. Make at home and add whatever you want. Tonight I'm making my hubby a bbq chicken one and I'll have one with fresh motz and tomatoes.
