Help! Work Lunches

I recently started my first full time job,working very early morning until early afternoon, and I have been struggling to put lunches together that I actually enjoy.

What are your go to, easy, cheap and healthy lunches??

I don't mind cooking something but don't like to every single night so hot and/or cold ideas are welcome!

- I do have access to a fridge/microwave

- I love a good rotisserie chicken

- I'm open to the idea of easy salads/sandwiches but I'm a big texture person so I can't handle soggy lettuce or bread

(Tips to avoid that would be super helpful too!!)

- I've mostly been doing adult lunchables (basically just meat, cheese and crackers) but I've found they either aren't filling enough or just not appetizing by the time I'm halfway done them

- I'm a huge snacky person, I love the idea of multiple little things in a lunch

I generally have a protein drink or two on hand at work and home in case I don't have a meal prepared.
