Soup n salad/soup n sandwich
Pasta
stir-fry
Re: Lunch and Light snacks for work
Pasta salads with an olive oil based dressing are excellent for lunches. Add shredded chicken or grilled steak the morning of, and its a delish meal.
Soup and salad is great too. Make a batch of soup and freeze it in individual size cups.

Re: Lunch and Light snacks for work
make a mix of nuts and dried fruits yourself. I have a lil container of dates (left over from Ramadhan), almonds and dried cranberries at my desk, and a pack of nimko for afternoon chai .
Re: Lunch and Light snacks for work
My husband is a doctor, although I give him in lunch for work whatever we eat at dinner time, but he prefers rice, noodles, Pizza or dry stuff to be taken usually. Salads does not make his appetite fill. Try just altering things with the stuff you already making. Noodles i guess are best to give, chicken roast, Fish cutlets/fish fried fillets, Shaami kababs, Potato cutlets, spring rolls etc can also be tried
Re: Lunch and Light snacks for work
Oh wow those were lots of good suggestions :) I do give him left overs from dinner too, infact he actually asks for them lol but that can only be done for rice stuff as he does not want to be seen having salan roti at work:p Will try making individual cups of soup as i do make soup pretty often...spring rolls and macaroni salad are next on the list :)
Can I make something using dry fruits? Peanuts and all?

I put almond flakes and cranberries/raisins to liven up green salads. Healthy, light and tastes good. Also sliced boiled egg on salads. orange segments, or a spoonful of channa/cholay , rinsed kidney beans. They all add protein/fruit to a healthy salad.
