I return to work on 6/17 & am looking forward to reading the responses to your question . One great tip I got from these boards was to order the Bento lunch box from Amazon, it comes with all these different sized containers to pack food in. I'm so excited to use it! Hubby thinks I'm a little nuts, LOL! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0088N2YYG/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0088N30YO&linkCode=as2&redirect=true&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&tag=bentoboxlunch-20

I am on the run all day and don't get a lunch break so this is what I consume during my workday...

Large Protein shake (32oz/40g protein) to drink over several hours in between appointments

Mixed nuts

pumpkin seeds

String cheese

Jerky

Natures Valley Protein bar/GNC Lean Bar/Fiber One protein (I hate the taste and texture of Protein Bars, and these are the only ones I can stand.)

Tuna salad packets (the ones in foil that I can just suck out of the corner and don't need utensils)

Hard boiled egg

At least 1L of Water
