take to work lunch/breakfast ideas

I take lunch to work everyday. I don't know what to bring. The same for breakfast.

Please ideas different from eggs or yogurt. nothing with soy or dairy. For lunch something other than chicken.

Re: take to work lunch/breakfast ideas

I bring a variation of the following every day:

Breakfast
serving of fruit
Instant pack of oatmeal or homemade steel cut oatmeal

Lunch
Leftovers from dinner (could be anything)
Mixed greens with another salad veggie and protein (beans, tuna, chicken, quinoa)

Snack
Yogurt w/granola
Mixed raw nuts
Fruit

I get bored of this sometimes and just know I'm eating healthy and look forward to eating out on the weekend!

I just made a batch of roasted onions, celery and carrots with lemon. It's very filling.

I also eat tomatoes throughout the day.
