Low-carb freezable or batch lunches for work

I was going to suggest Salad in a Jar, too. It is very surprising how well salad keeps when it is sealed up in its own little environment, properly layered with the wet stuff at the bottom. I have some very pretty Mason jars for this purpose, but any jar with a lid would do so long as it's big enough to hold a lunch's worth of salad. Make sure to include plenty of protein in there to keep you feeling full!

I do healthy little "quiches" by putting a slice of wafer thin ham in each section of a bun tin and pouring on top a mixture of beaten eggs, skimmed milk and freshly ground pepper. Then bake.
I have these for my low carb breakfasts at my desk at work.

I generally have salad for lunch, but freshly prepared each morning, so not much help to you there, although I might give the salad in a jar idea mentioned above a go.

I also snack at my desk on cherry tomatoes, little pickled onions (can't eat chocolate after you've eaten those), grapes and homemade popcorn.

Sure this is obvious but does that mean no pastry? Tempted to try this out!

Yep, no pastry at all.

No carbs, and also works for weight watchers simple start, and slimming world plan

Bit of tomato/mushroom/asparagus/red onion would go nicely in it too

Thank you everyone - I love all the ideas - I'd never heard of frittata or crustless quiches before! :T

I like the sound of just grabbing boiled eggs and ham cups from fridge in the morning too!

I may also give salad in a jar ago - although I don't have any jars ...

Thank you all so much - no more boring carb heavy sandwiches for me

Just put a huge crustless quiche in the oven - bacon, onion, courgette (fried up together) and wholegrain mustard in a roasting tray. Started with 15 eggs and a pint of double cream - I felt like Mrs Beeton. I'll snatch it from DH's gaping maw and freeze it in slices.

Vegetable sticks (carrots, celery, pepper, cauliflower, brocolli) and dips. You wouldn't need to freeze them either make dip yourself or buy. Then a boiled egg, cheese, tinned fish for protein.
