Cold lunches?

I'm in the early phases of being able to eat real food (6 weeks out). Typically, I take egg salad, ricotta bake, or beans and cheese to work. I have to work offsite for a week without a microwave. I can take egg salad, but don't want to eat that every day. Any other good, easy to digest, protein-rich foods that I can take in my insulated lunch bag? for lunch? Thanks!

How do you make the ricotta bake?

tuna or salmon cottage cheese with egg salad, turkey cheese deli rollups, insulated containers of things like soup, chili, etc, leftover meats from the night before with raw veg like tomatoes and avocado, etc. Nut butters/apple slices, light cheese wedges, salads, cold leftover salmon, cold leftover asparagus/broccoli/green beans/brussels sprouts, etc.

Honestly, I try to keep lunch (and brekky if I have it) utilitarian--about getting the protein and nutrients in and not making it about variety or pleasing my taste buds. Then dinner can be a little more satisfying in that area.

I also wrap healthy Protein deli meat in lettuce to avoid the bread or usual wraps to avoid the carbs. I also make 1 or 2 % cottage cheese, add a half scoop or whole scoop of six star protein, add 1/2 c. sliced peaches or pineapple chunks.

I also add some stevia or artificial sweeteners to taste.

Thanks all. I just realized on the app you can’t tell what board this is. I’m looking for vegetarian options (I think I posted on the veggie board)

Sorry to hear that - rest easy to get over the cold, youll be able to raise your game on race day and if you get a chance before great. But its better to be healthy on the start line, than ill with the knowledge that youve done a full 10k, promise

Shakes are quick and easy if you're away from cooking facility
