What do you bring to work for lunch?

[ruckin]

Any quick/easy food ideas to make/buy and bring to work for lunch? I need something that is able to sit for a few days at a time without being eaten, because I never know in advance when I'll be going to a restaurant for lunch that day. I hate always going to McDonald's for lunch whenever I don't go out somewhere with coworkers.

Baked chicken tenders and wild rice plus broccoli. Protein shake in a small blender bottle. Yogurt for dessert.

You could get those tuna and salmon packets as well, and those keep well.

I used to keep a jar of peanut butter and jelly with bread and a jug of milk in the fridge at work at all times.

This is my realm! Okay everything is stuff you can have in the back sticks so sometimes not the best but still:
Canned tuna this is my bread and butter meal at work
Itchyban noodles/kimchi noodles
Oatmeal just add hot water
Baked beans
jerky
Granola
Cliff bars/protein bars
Snickers do satisfy
Peanut butter and jelly
Those are just the things you can keep unrefrigerated in a desk or cabinet there's so much more if you have a fridge

Food at work is really important to me. Here is a few of my go to items.

Grilled chicken, it will stay in fridge easily a week(or turkey breast)
rice, I find brown rice stays less clumpy
canned soup, now that its winter. read the label and find a good one you like
Protein bars, be careful not to buy ones that are really candy
Peanuts, Cheap as hell and fills you up fast if a meal is delayed
Jerky, damm I eat alot of this but its tasty

Lunchmeat and bread is always a good idea. Rice a roni makes these little single serve flavored (broccoli cheddar, four cheese) cups that you just add boiling water to.
Quaker oats also makes single serve cups that are really good. Im eating one now before my shift.

Canned sardines in mustard sauce with a minute rice rice cup. Just mush the sardines up really good in the mustard sauce until there are no solid pieces left and then shovel it in scoop by scoop washing it down with a big gulp of water each mouthful. I actually found out I can kill cans of sardines way easier than cans of tuna, I prefer the tuna taste but I can eat 5 tins of sardines at work with ease and it puts you overy 100gr of protein with plenty of room for more

Not to mention they are half the price of canned albacore and come in at the same levels of protein etc

Left overs from last nights dinner. If you eat a healthy dinner you will always eat a healthy lunch.

I bake every Sunday for the week. I am gone for the week so I use a soft sided Yeti cooler to keep things cold.

Chicken Breast
Tilapia
Salmon
Brown rice
Also bring raw broccoli, avocados and bananas. Pasteurized egg whites, unsweetened almond milk and protein powder for a shake. Sometimes bring quest protein bars.

I lived practically at my office so I ended up bringing more than half of my groceries for the week to work. Food prep your meals man, cook in large batches and just tupaware a couple meals of leftovers for the next day at work.

I usually bring 11 pb&j, chicken rice, tuna, and oatmeal every day I work.

Thanks for the ideas fellas

I buy one of those freezer boxes of chicken fried rice, and keep a can of tyson chicken. I drain out the fluid in the can of chicken and dump the entire thing into the box of chicken fried rice(and stir). Ends up being around 900 calories, with 90 grams of protein, so a decent, though not great source.
I've done the same with a full sized pot pie.

 

[trying to get big]

Tuna
Sardines
Bucket of rice with chicken pieces
Boiled eggs by the dozen
Peanut butter and banana sandwiches
Protein shakes
Stray dogs if i can catch em

Nature valley protein bar
Fiber one bar
Banana

There's this place close to my work that makes really good chicken breast on a wood grill. I talked to the manager and usually get a dozen breasts (about 4oz cooked per breast) at a discount. I leave them at work and if I ever get the least bit hungry I just microwave one for a snack or 2 for lunch. And I have those single packs of uncle bens microwaveable white rice.
