You have to start making and taking your own food with you..
It's healthier and you'll feel better because eating fast food has too much sodium and too much fat..
Make your lunch, dinner ...
If you cook at home, make a little extra for the next day.
If you don't cook at home, you're gonna have to plan a weeks meals before you shop once a week...
Buy lunch meat, tuna, eggs, cheese, veggies, fruit, crackers, olives, dairy (cottage cheese, cream cheese, yogurt, and chocolate bars...
Get creative by looking on-line for brown-bag ideas...
Martha Stewart is one, or Rachael Ray, Food T.V network..
Have fun with it, and get a Thermos for your drinks..
You can save a lot of money not buying drinks out..Bring your own water, make Ice Tea, etc..
G'luck and I'll be thinkin' about you!
I just made my husband's lunch..2 turkey sandwiches on whole wheat with lettuce, and a bag of grapes, and a chocolate brownie....

Bagels and cream cheese are a cheap and easy breakfast. Also, sometimes bringing a nutri grain bar to work for that time between breakfast and lunch when your starving helps. For lunch, I usually pack my lunch the night before. I buy a loaf of bread and 2 different types of lunch meat, a couple tomatoes and some lettuce. I pack a sandwhich and bring along a small fruit cup or pudding. Only eat out about once or twice a week. If you're real low budget, get a can of tuna for .50 cents and that'll make 2 days worth of lunch. Raemen is another good quick lunch but not too filling, may need to pack something along with it. But for soups, many companies like Campbells makes the chunky soups which are really filling and only about $2.50 a peice. Eating out cost too much, you waste gas driving to and from, plus just breakfast alone can be $2-$5 a day, and lunch can be $5-$10 a day on average, working 5 days that like wasting $35-$70 a week, not including the gas wasted. If you do step out for lunch, share carpooling duties with someone.

Brown bagging it from home with "leftovers" or "planned overs" can save a lot of money. Otherwise, buy regular sized packages of items and repack them yourself. You pay a lot more for the convenience of single serving packages and already prepped foods. Spend a little time after work or on the weekends and prep your own. Even if you want fast food for a certain lunch, check their specials or $1 menus, etc.

Tuna Sandwiches. Chop in some pickles and you can stretch a can out to like three or four sandwiches.

I love 2 minute noodles and tuna.
Also rice dishes are usually cheap and go a long way.
