What do you bring to work for lunch

I hate having to bring lunch as I never know what to bring with me ( as daft as it sounds) I used to work next door to a co op so regularly nipped and grabbed stuff that I wanted BUT it was working out very expensive and I was mostly eating junk so my plan is to bring healthy alternatives in but what do I bring? Im useless at thinking and planning food but I want/ need to lose weight

Protein - chicken, ham, lentils out of a merchant gourmet packet, tuna, egg and tuna, Bean salad out of a tin
+
Grains - half a microwave packet
+
salad or roast Mediterranean veg (do a batch - they freeze ok too)

In a Tupperware box
+
Dressing in a little sistema pot

Babybells and apples for snacks
Some protein bares (Barebells or grenades) for v hungry moments

Pretty much my lunch too!
Sometimes I do pesto grains and have feta

Salads I make at home. Cartons of soup (mix of homemade and bought). Leftovers from dinner.

Often it's simply a handful of nuts from my drawer and more coffee.
