If you have a supermarket nearby, go there and buy a 1/4 pound or less of sliced turkey (50-70 calories per 2 oz). Keep low carb tortillas in your desk drawer, spread mustard, eat. Maybe small bag of pretzels (17 pieces = 140 calories).

I needed some ideas for lunch. Sometimes, I skip lunches, then start to crave sweets later in the day. I like all the suggestions that I read.  Since I retired, it is sometimes hard to get into a somewhat healthy routine. I do volunteer for a full day once a week, and needed suggestions of what I could eat. I love having the nuts, fruits and cold veggies.

I like to take a bunch of cut up vegis and Hummus.

 

This is great to eat for lunch and snack as you go along during the day as you get sinking spells.

 

I take an apple or two and cut them with a knife as I eat it.  Its like eating chips or munchies it take a while and you eat one little cut bite at a time.  It gets to be a habbit.

 

Hope that helps.

Tuna sandwich with artichokes, olives and chopped tomato on a roll.  Sprinnkle with olive oil.  Have a side salad.  That would hold up with your cold packs.

 

Hummus wraps with avocado and hearts of palm.  Hope you like them!  CCollins

Turkey or chicken sandwich on a thin whole wheat roll. Guacamole and pita chips (then again, I'm in maintenance)

That sounds delicious! Too bad I'm not a fan of tuna and hearts of palm, I'll try to work my way around them since they are pretty beneficial.

I have no fridge at work, I just pack my morning and afternoon snacks and lunch in an insulated bag and add those blue ice things, it stays cold all day.

I bring a large sandwich bag of raw veggies to munch on all morning, then a yogurt mid morning

for lunch I usually have a tossed salad with 2 oz boneless skinless chicken breast and low fat dresssing, another yogurt for afternoon snack.  

I have no problem eating the same thing every day
