Default Healthy lunch ideas

I am always trying to eat healthy at lunch and to brown bag as much as possible.

Sometimes I have a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread, with either pretzels or homemade chex mix, and a piece of fruit.

What are your good ideas for eating a healthy lunch?

Salads, veggies, fruits, adding egg, cheese or meat to the salad with balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.

I'm not a big eater myself, a simple cheese sandwich and a hard-boiled egg is good enough for me. If I'm feeling bold, I'll throw in a cookie.

I hardly have time for lunch before 3pm. Typically I have some fruit (bananna) and crackers.

A lot of times I don't eat lunch, I just have a slightly larger dinner. Sometimes I won't be hungry the whole day, and that hunger never catches up with me. It's weird...

This is one of the biggest problems I have. A lot of the time I eat out during lunch time and I'm trying to get out of that habit and eat more healthy. Some things I bring to work:

cottage cheese
grapes
nuts of some sort (right now its pistachios)
tortilla chips and salsa (though its not entirely healthy its a good substitute for fries).
Salad

etc. I usually like to bring small amounts of lots of different things, to keep me interested.

I don't eat a large breakfast so when lunch time rolls around I find I'm famished. Nonetheless, I, too, try to bring along healthy fare with me. I bring yogurt and fruit, sometimes I take a slice of veggie pizza which I nuke, in the cooler weather I often bring soup, frequently I take salad in a Tupperware container. I've even taken the hummus with some pita bread. As long as it's filling, I do try to make healthy choices because by dinner time I feel an impulse to eat anything that isn't nailed down.

This is a good idea, mantua. "Snacky" but healthy sort of items to munch on.
I admit that the "presentation" keeps me interested too. I purchased some of these...http://www.laptoplunches.com/ Compact little servings.


Small things amuse big kiddies, what can I say?

A friend told me about this blog on which there are healthy vegan lunch ideas.

http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/

So many of my co-workers think I'm a "stick in the mud" for not wanting to lunch w/ them on an almost daily basis. Not only do these bistro lunches add up, but they go straight to the hips, too. Those days are gone for moi. LOL I brown bag/containerize it.
