Healthy and filling lunch ideas for the office

Like many people are I'm trying to stick to a bit of a post-holiday detox, but am struggling for ideas of things to have for lunch at the office (microwave and kettle) that are healthy, filling and can be bought on the day. If it requires me to make it the night before then I know I won't.

So, hit me!

Yeah I don't want to starve myself

. Plus I need to eat a decent amount just so that when I start doing some serious cycling in the spring/summer I won't pile on the pounds when I increase my intake.

Mackerel and sardines sound like a great idea! Can they be warmed in the microwave or do they dry out too much?

I might give poached eggs on wholemeal toast a go as well if I have the balls to risk obliterating the communal kettle.

Nice ideas, cheers.

I'm fine on the water front, I get through about 5/6 pints whilst at work.

Just had sardines in sunflower oil in a granary roll. Pretty tasty! Only got sunflower because they're half price (45p) in the Sainsbury's Local near work at the moment but also bought them in tomato and mackerel in tomato to try some other time.
