When I started out it was salad with a protein. I also do tuna salad, ham and cheese roll ups, leftovers from night before. Corned beef with some mustard and mayo on top, hamburgers with guac on top. Bacon cheeseburger salad are my fav. Just fry some burgers crumble, place on top bed of lettuce, few slices of small cherry tomatoes, sliver of onion, diced dill pickle, top with cheese, bacon crumbles and use mustard and mayo for dressing. I lived off of these things a few weeks ago.

Also on launch pad sticky there are links for recipe sites. I like ruled.me and ibreatheimhungry.com

So many choices! I just made chicken salad with green onions, mayo and pecans. I like to make a big batch of beanless chili or beef stew in big batches then save in individual portion containers. Cook chicken breast, shreds and can use in salads-taco, Caesar or add to stews and soups. I always make extra portions when I cook dinner to take for lunch-pork chops and creamed spinach, Brussel sprouts with bacon and hamburger steak, cook hamburger meat then use in stuffed peppers with cheese and tomatoes or in spaghetti sauce over zoodles. There are tons of low carb recipes out there. Check Pinterest, low carb friends and peace love and low carb for starters. Good luck!

Meatballs nuked with calorie wise bbq sauce...the whole office wants them they smell so good Also a choc. cookie dough quest bar when I'm lazy with 1/3rd cup dry roasted peanuts My tastes are very plain and repetitive though.

I keep cans of tuna on hand (I like solid light fillet) and green giant veggie packs with cheese sauce in the freezer. (The zesty broccoli with cheese one or the mixed vegetable with cheese one works well). Then if I've got no other plan, at least I can grab a can of tuna and a veggie pack. I heat the veggie pack and then mix in the tuna. It tastes pretty good and is filling.

My fave lazy lunch when I can get to a microwave is taco meat, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. I'm eating it right now. Tuna packets and string cheese are my go-to cold lunch choices.

I like the deli meat/cheese roll ups. They are easy to take to the office and don't require much prep. I stick to Boars Head to avoid the fillers and yucky stuff. I'm curious though...I bought BH no salt added turkey and it's very bland. (It needs salt..haha). Does anyone have suggestions to perk this up?

Dip the lunch meat in mustard.

I simply stopped eating lunch altogether. I eat a very large breakfast (I do like eggs so that helps) and then have some almonds around 3pm. Today I didn't eat anything until about 5pm.

Tin of tuna, a bag of chia seeds with cinnamon and nuts are each great to have in the handbag for emergency. My work canteen adds sauces to meats so on those days I use my tuna and add to green leafy salad.

Yesterday's workshop lunch provided was deli meat sandwiches so I threw the gorgeous looking bread and ate the meat. Then had my 10 almonds and 10 cashews ( love nuts so ensure I do not bring a bag full). Then poured the chia seeds into a paper cup, added boiling water, stirred and had warm pudding. Thankfully the stirrer had a slightly bigger end so i used that like a spoon. Meant no one noticed I was not eating like everyone else and I was full.

I meal prep or make extra servings of dinner. Today my lunch was sausage pan fried in some hot sauce, spaghetti squash, sautéed mushrooms and half an avocado.
