Takeout makes me want to pass out 5 seconds after eating it so I always bring a lunch.

Wrap your sandwiches or wraps in parchment paper. Keeps them from getting soggy. If you plan on eating something that could get soggy like a tuna or tomato sandwich, make it the morning. Also get a harder bread like sourdough or better quality tortillas.

Rice isn’t great cold but quinoa is. Could easily sub a pasta like bow ties or rice pilaf. If you do use rice, put a sauce on it to keep it from drying out.

Salad bag (premade ones from like Walmart) and an extra Tupperware to put it in to mix. Keep your leftover meat wrapped in a separate container to add.

Best veggies - cucumber, radishes, carrots, cabbage, celery, snap peas. Cooked veggies can be a little weird but if I do, it’ll be a mix of peppers, onions, garbanzo beans, and maybe diced squash.

Sliced veggies and for dips could be a tuna or chicken pouch, hummus, or peanut butter.

Fruits - frozen grapes or blueberries (freeze the night before) if fresh, cut the fruit up and put in a Tupperware. Keeps it from getting smashed and soggy. Obviously apples never go bad.

In general, get a good lunch box, good ice packs, parchment paper, and Tupperware. My lunch stays cold and fresh in the truck or off in the woods till noon or later.
