Fruits make a good snack-- strawberries, oranges already peeled and sectioned, etc. Chopped veggies are also good snacks.
For my lunch, I generally make a salad (lettuce blend, cucumber, tomato, green pepper), and top it with a Tbsp. of shredded cheese, a serving of croutons (2 Tbsp in the brand I buy), and a grilled chicken breast (prepared the night before on my George Foreman Grill) cut into strips. I store the fat-free italian dressing and croutons separate until it's time to eat the salad. It's very filling, and low in points (around 7 or so), and I'm not hungry for a while. The nice thing about the chicken breasts too is that you can prepare 3 on Sunday night, and then you've got lunch protein for the next three days.
The WW entrees are also a good idea (esp. for variety), but I find them to be a bit pricey. I'm a bargain girl, and I can make more lunches for less $ if I use my salad stuff.
Breakfast can be easy, too-- boil up some eggs and keep in the fridge; bring yogurt and some grape-nuts to sprinkle on top for "crunch"; buy the individual packages of oatmeal (you can cook them in the microwave) and bring one a day to work. If you're not a "breakfast food" person, the Campbells "Soup to go" things are nice in the morning-- they're warm and comforting.
Good luck!
