Food at work?

I`m 5 weeks out now & my Dietician said I can introduce fruits & veggies. Does anyone have suggestions on what meals I can bring to work that would be convenient?

Most of the stuff that I bring to work is protein related...yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna salad. If you want to bring fruit or veggies I would definitely try them at home first to make sure you can tolerate them ok but I would think that fruit cups in their own juice or a veggie that you know that you can eat. I would just be careful to make sure you get your protein before you worry about the fruits and veggies.

I am interested to see what others have to say...it is hard to get creative about lunches and I seem to bring the same thing most every day.

For veggies I take broccoli, mini peppers and baby carrots. Otherwise, it's always protein first: chicken, cheese, beans, pork, steak...

I don't eat lunch these days, but when I did it was usually leftovers from the previous night's dinner. I usually just eat them cold, but they re-heat really well. My favorites are these:

Sicilian Cauliflower Salad (I usually add some cooked chicken for protein) - http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=2470 662
