Fish: you can pick and choose what kind of fish works for you, but be careful of the mercury content; we (my dad and I) eat a lot of salmon and other fish from the Asian markets.
Grains: oatmeal/oats, quinoa, brown rice, barley
Nuts: almonds, cashews, walnuts, peanuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, pecans, brazelnuts

Sandwiches:
What you choose to put in your sandwich is up to you, but hereโs an example of what you could put: eggs, tomatoes, spinach, bell peppers, and maybe some grilled chicken pieces
Salads:
add some olives, cucumbers, pumpkin, peas, artichoke, chicken, etc. and add olive oil and vinegar; put anything you want in your salad
Wraps:
Brown rice orquinoa, vegetables, and maybe your choice of meat

Pack your lunch the day before so youโre not feeling rushed when you get up in the morning and youโre less likely to buy lunch/eat out.
