I have no idea what to make for lunch to go, growing up I had a sandwich every day at school. I don't want to buy as much fast food as I usually do.

Anyone have anything good? I already have a go-to breakfast, and dinner is fine because I can figure something out on the spot based on what looked good in the store that week.

Lunch is hard because I have to plan it, and I don't want to pack too little and something that isn't filling. Ideally want something that can be eaten cold.

    PB (or any nut butter) and Jelly is a solid one.

    Hard boil some eggs, slice them, slap them on a slice of bread. Pretty much an egg salad without taking the time to dice everything up and mix it with the salad dressing. Add your fixings. Vegan lunch meat stuff is usually pretty tasty but it always got pricey for me.

    A bag of raw veggies (carrots, celery, cucumber, etc) works as a filling, a side, and a snack before/after sandwich eating time. If you've got some decent self control, buy a big bag of chips and pack a handful.

    This sounds weird, but its not terrible... get a can of re-fried beans. They're already cooked and seasoned so that part is done. Keep it in the fridge to keep it cold and then just use it as a spread on your bread. Add a bit of hot sauce or a thicker brand of salsa for extra flavor/moisture. Can be eaten cold. You're basically just eating bean dip on a slice of bread instead of tortilla chips.
