If you don't have refrigerator access, pasta salad is a great option.
I work in the great outdoors, so whatever I pack for lunch must not need to be heated or refrigerated. To avoid PB & J every day, I sometimes make a big batch of "power pasta salad" on Sunday night. Two cups dry spinach pasta, cooked, with a few tablespoons pesto and diced mozzarella or feta, with whatever veggies or olives I have on hand. It keeps all week for both my lunches and my husband's. —Camille Stephens, Facebook

Make your own freezer pita pockets or burritos.
I like to make a big batch of homemade pita pockets with tuna (or literally anything you want) and put them in the freezer... Then I just take them out of the freezer the night before and they’re perfect the day after. —angeleee
