Need cold lunch ideas for my husband’s work every day. Ideas?!

Question

I’m a beginner cook so I need help with these things!
My hubby works as maintenance man and drives around town doing his different jobs.  He’s really busy and rarely has time to stop for lunch somewhere, and if he does it gets expensive buying out.  
He has a cooler in his work van but doesn’t have a microwave or anything.  We are trying to think of cold lunch ideas he can keep in his cooler.
Any ideas?!  I’m trying to look up cold wrap ideas but can’t find anything good !

Answer

I’m in the same situation! I actually get good deli bread for sandwiches and it makes a difference. I also bought a thermos off amazon. It keeps food hot or cold for 8 hours and I pack pasta, roast, etc in it.

Answer

I do wraps for my SO. Chicken salad sandwiches. Tuna salad sandwiches. Lots and lots of turkey sandwiches (I try to get cracked pepper turkey breast, Gouda cheese, lettuce, toast the bread, etc to spice it up a bit). And I also get a rotisserie chicken at the beginning of the week and shred all the chicken up and put it in a separate container and use it for wraps/sandwiches for his lunch! Also always throw fruit, crackers, and a protein bar in there. My SO has a big appetite.

Answer

Salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Also, if he wants a warm meal, have you guys considered getting a thermos? They come in different sizes and you can put different foods in there such as soup, pasta, boneless wings, etc.

Answer

Different types of wraps, cold pasta salads, chicken salad, potato salad, deli/tuna sandwiches, regular salads, add snacks fruit/veggie juices etc switch it up so he doesn’t get bored of the same thing

Answer

Pasta salads (noodles vegetables dressing protein), sandwiches or wraps, crackers and vegetables with dip, potato salad / egg salad, smoothies

Answer

I would use croissants, pita bread, and different bakery style breads to keep from getting soggy. I also use different types of condiments to help switch up. Id use terriyaki, carribean jerk, bbq, honey mustard, dijon mustard on the wraps and sndwiches. 
     Rotisserie chicken from sams isnmy best friend literally made the pitas below ith shred chicken, cilantro, lettuce, tomato, honey mustard. I bought the container below from dollar tree and pack him fruit and veggies. I also use “drink packets” and pack him a water and he can have lemonade, fruit punch, or peach mango energy flavored water if he chooses so he doesnt have to buy a drink. 
     Someone mentioned a thermal. Id probably look and see if they sell thermal bowels or containers so he can take leftovers and they can stay warm if heated before he goes.
