Help...Need Lunch Ideas for School

I need help everyone...as most of you know I started school yesterday and I need ideas for lunches.  We get an hour break for lunch and there is no fridge to keep anything in.
What sorts of things can I take with that are healthy, high in protien and will last either in a cooler bag or my car...

Thanks in advance!

string cheese or chunk cheese
cottage cheese
yogurt (you can freeze the new whips style ones I think Dannon and Yoplait)
left overs if you have a micro in the cafeteria
small salads with chicken or tuna
chicken or tuna salad

I am sure I will figure out more and will add later on
added below:

Peanut butter on an apple
Peanut butter on a rice cake maybe with smashed banana also

Thanks Chris!  most of these would work out great, except apples...I can't eat them anymore  :-(

If you live near an Aldi's they have these little premade chicken or tuna sald kits. They come boxed complete with a spoon and crackers. They are great chilled.

Monica,

I recently bought a 1 liter stainless steel thermos at Kmart for about 1/2 of what the other stores were selling them.  It works great to take some soup in it and it stays warm for hours!

Thanks Paul!!

These are my standbys, I take lunch 4 days a week. Spend the money for a lunch container, a steel thermos and  a cold pack you can freese.
Soup
meat and cheese roll ups
chili
String cheese
salads
chicken salad
tuna salad
ham salad.
Apple with peanut butter or sharp cheese (Dawn does this)
Protein bars
Protein drinks
Cottage cheese, yogert, ricotta cheese.

Hugs and  good luck.

Thank you Lisa!  these are great suggestions.  I suppose I could leave my food in my van too since it's gonna be cold enough in a while I'm sure!  LOL

I have packed my lunch every day  i have worked since surgery - our cafeteria at work has all really icky fried stuff and even the salad bar looks bad.  I bought an insulated lunch bag and blue freezer gel packs. it stays cold all day and are still frozen pretty well at the end of a 12 hour shift w/no refrigeration.  we have a frige avail - but it is often dirty and smelly and I refuse to use it.  people leave stuff in it for weeks on end. we do have a microwave avail too.

My standbys are

 cottage cheese wi th fruit

greek yogurt ( nearly 20 gms protein a cup) plain w/ a splenda and some fruit and granola

baby bel cheeses, whole grain crackers and a piece of fruit (can you eat an apple if you peel it?)

tuna salad

hard boiled eggs/deviled eggs

sf jello/sf pudding - premade or my own made and put in 1/2 c  plastic containers.

peanut butter and crackers, not the premade ones, my own 2 tb of good peanut butter in a tupperware container & whole grain crackers

ants on a log - celery with pb and raisins (use a veg peeler on the outside of the celrey to remove the strings and it is easier to eat)

home made soups - lots of chicken or meat cooked to total tenderness with a ton of veggies.

whatever is leftover from dinner , meat balls in sauce, chili w/ cheese on top, chicken and veggies, pot roast, cold shrimp w/ ****tail sauce

or bake an extra chicken breast for a planned leftover and put w/ some greens and salad dressing on the side in a tupperware container.

a whole wheat tortilla with chicken and cheese rolled up w/ a little lettuce or spinich and mustard

a quesadilla w/ refried beans, cheese and chicken

1/2 sandwiches

instant oatmeal

cereal with milk (kashi go lean - hi fiber hi protein) put the cereal in a tupperware and buy a carton of milk.

 

 

 

 

 

thanks for the great ideas!  Unfortunately I can't eat apples unless they are cooked.  I get really bad stomach pains and don't feel good if I do.

I am going to buy a lunch bag today and do this!
