Can we play a round of high protein lunch time finger foods

I like hummus and crackers. Peanut butter and pretzels, are quick and easy. I also buy low sodium deli meat and make cheese and meat roll ups. I also love the bistro boxes at Starbucks if I am out and about instead of fast food. I had the fruit and cheese bistro box yesterday and it was yummy! It has 14 grams of protein. Its cost was about the same as an extra value meal at McDonalds. I have to eat a high protein diet due to my gastric sleeve, so I am always looking for ways to change it up.

I could have written your post. I also have salads several days of the week (with a protein) but either get sick of it or can't take the time to eat it (it is not uncommon For me to have to eat while driving due to my job). The other day I looked up "paleo lunch ideas" and got some good ideas on Pinterest. Some things I do eat that I suppose I could eat while driving are grilled chicken strips, leftover rotisserie chicken, nuts, popcorn, fruit, raw veggies. I also have tuna and cucumbers on two wasa high fiber crackers which is a good change.

It isn't difficult. But it might mean changing when you eat so you have 10 minutes to pull into a parking lot, put the car in park and eat using utensils.

More likely though you are still going through a mental process of "can't have" and are rebelling against the things you can have. You are still in the "its not fair" stage of changing the way you eat. Once you get past that you'll realize that reaching into your lunch bag and munching down on some mini bell peppers isn't any more difficult than reaching into a paper bag from Md's and munching on fries.  Or a string cheese isn't any harder to eat than a burger. A can of v8 isn't more difficult to deal with than a soda.... you just have to be willing to give up the "fairness"

My favorite on the go is sliced turkey and some cream cheese or a thin slice of swiss cheese, wrapped up or cut in small pieces that I can at on a Trisket like cracker.

I'm still working on it but trying to change my mindset about what I eat. I am doing 5:2 and it has taught me that I am not going to starve/pass out/diet if I don't eat the second I get hungry. If I need to wait a little while that is fine. I also am trying to change my thoughts on what is a "meal". For
Some reason a burger and fries seems like a meal while eating some raw veggies, yogurt, nuts, etc (things that I do eat as snacks) doesn't seem like I ate a "meal". Or even having a protein shake or bar. It is hard to change that mindset but I think it makes it so much easier for me to eat healthy if I can think of it as fueling my body rather than having a meal, if that makes sense.

I'm getting bored with same lunch foods, too. Its hard getting all of the protein in during the day and keeping carbs down. I've been eating a Flatout wrap with deli chicken/turkey and cheese, along with carrots or cucumbers. Some days, I just can't do any meat so I have cottage cheese, fresh fruit, and homemade granola. I need something new!

I pack the same lunch everyday and just mix up the exact items a little. I take a Greek yogurt, a piece of fruit, string cheese or a cheddar stick, and a Kind bar. The flavor of yogurt varies, the fruit varies, and the flavor of Kind bar is different, but it is a simple lunch to throw together. I don't have to eat it all at once.

Following so I can make some protein boxes for lunch!

I get what you are saying, but honestly at the end of the week another salad or raw veggies (what I have usually been eating the earlier part of the week) sounds like the last thing I want to eat.  I don't know about the OP, but I am in my car for work quite a bit.  There is temptation all around--fast food, treats at the gas stations I have to stop at multiple times a day to go to the bathroom, etc.  I agree that part of it is the mindset, but it is a lot harder to resist that temptation when I have something to eat that doesn't sound in the least bit good (not to mention the difficulties keeping things at the right temp, especially when it is warm out). Not that it is impossible to resist, but it does create a barrier.  If you are in an office or a school, and have already brought your lunch and would need to go out to get something else (especially if you also have the social aspect of being able to eat lunch with coworkers), it is not as tempting as getting something when you are by yourself all day and driving right by the fast food or having to walk past the cookies when you go to the bathroom.  

I make wraps out of cauliflower and use those for lunch wraps...egg salad, chicken salad, fajitas, tacos, cheese, etc. Easy, healthy, and portable! 3 of my medium wraps have 2 cups of cauliflower, so i'm getting veggies in too!

Do you have a recipe? How long do they last in the fridge?

Cauliflower Wraps:
Pre-heat oven to 375F.
-Chop cauliflower into chunks, removing stems. Take 2 cups of cauliflower and pulse in food processor until you get a texture finer than rice.
-Steam cauliflower in microwave for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave 2 more minutes.
-Place steamed cauliflower in dish towel and squeeze out as much water as you can. This is really hot, be careful you don't burn yourself!
-Put cauliflower in bowl and add 1 egg. At this time you can add in any seasonings you like (taco, oregano, cinnamon, whatever). I prefer to make mine without seasonings.
-Mix and separate into 3 balls.
-Spread each ball out on a parchment lined baking sheet. They should each make about a taco-sized tortilla.
-Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes, flip each wrap, and then bake for another 5 minutes.
-Keeps in freezer for 6 months. Just place in a pan over high heat to heat for serving.
