    with my xh I used to do lunches for him when he was doing a 12 hour shift at work - so not only lunches I had to do snacks as well.

    Lunches:
    pretty much anything that we had for dinner the night before, I also used to do up things like macaroni cheese, lasagne, stir fry, steak & veges, tuna pasta bake, etc & package them for re-heating in takeaway food containers.

    For the snacks, I used to do three or four different batches of bikkies on a sunday and package them up. Or cheese & crackers (I used to slice up cheese into thin blocks for him & he'd take some crackers from home), he also used to take those small tins of tuna.

    I'd also give him an iced coffee, plus coffee makings in the cooler bag.

    ooh yeah - I freeze most things in old jars - jam jars, Kan Tong jars whatever - DH HATES reheating plastic, and the jars are easier for him to eat out of on the go
    Just remember not to overfill them - you need to leave room for the food to expand as it freezes or it will break
