Do you like soup? Even canned soup with a couple of slices of WW bread or 3 slices of Melba toast would be nice, esp in this cold weather. I never can eat a salad because I have IBS, so that's always been out for me, and I still manage to lose weight.
I've also made roll-ups with an 8" WW tortilla and ham or turkey (always the "light" variety), slivers of peppers, coleslaw, a slice of light processed cheese...A smoothie is always an option...make it up at home, put it into a thermos, give it a good shake and have your shake at work!
A Bento box would work...slices of light deli meats, 3 melba toast or 10 small whole wheat crackers, a light Laughing Cow wedge to spread on the crackers, slices of peppers, cucumbers, etc...
If I come up with any other ideas, I'll let you know...
