Good lunches to have at school?

I've always had a problem with lunches for school. Never could really decide what I wanted. I've gone through a thousand things, and cannot decide on any. I do not like PB&J as I don't like PB and J by itself is too sweet and its not very healthy. I want something quick and easy, no junk food, good protein, and it has to be healthy. Any ideas? Thanks guys:)

PB&J not healthy? Salt-less peanut butter, sugarless strawberry jelly and multi-grain bread makes for one delicious "healthy" PB&J.SaintLeonidas

Soups, chili, home made protein bars, subs or sandwiches, etc. Try pinterest for ideas. Lots of ideas for bag lunches there.

EDIT: I see you say there's no microwave to use at your school. I'd perhaps bring that up with student council or whoever may have the power to change that. Microwaves are like 30 bucks, buying a couple is not going to break the bank for a school.

Use thermoses and stuff for soup or chili if you have to.

I ate a lot of junk when I was in school. If I was back in school today I'd probably bring broccoli and grilled chicken in a tupperwear or something similar.

I'd have suggested a packet of jerky for the protein, but it's become so damn ludicrously expensive nowadays that I'd struggle to recommend it with a straight face.

Also the quality of jerky seems to be very inconsistent lately: Whether you get something that's tougher than shoe leather or whether you get something that's actually edible is really just a matter of luck.

Something with a lot of protein so you can rip farts non stop during class.

Two triple big macs with a side of fries, one Monster energy drink, a bag of oreos, and a tub of ice cream for dessert. :)heeweesRus

Tomato juice in a can and ramen noodles (dry or wet).Pittfan666

I'm not sure I want to spend that much on lunch each day. Also, that must've been a pain to make.Wolfetan

It wasn't really a pain at all. The wholegrain pasta I would make Sunday and it required no effort (turn on water, wait for it to boil, insert pasta and stir every couple of minutes till done). Not only that but I would make 2lbs at a time (that would EASILY last me the entire week, i almost always used tomatoe sauce for flavoring).

Vegetables I would steam in the microwave which is virtually no effort (I would do 1lb at a time which would last the entire school week). Cooking the chicken was a joke on an electric grill (pre-heat grill, put chicken on grill and wait 7-8 minutes and then remove). If I wanted BBQ chicken then I would simply set the temp down to low (basically a broil), add sauce and then cook another minute or two

So basicallly it took me in total like 15 minutes of actual work to make my entire weeks lunch and once the price was divided amoung the week (plus leftovers), the lunch would cost me like $1.50 a day ($2 if I brought a protein shake).
