Answer 2

Pretty much whatever. Sandwiches, mostly, or tuna, egg, chicken, or macaroni salad... but tip on keeping things like apple slices fresh: Put lemon juice on 'em. They don't go brown that way.

Answer 3

I used to pack boiled eggs, grilled chicken, raw veggies, those ham and cheese snackable things, fruit, cheese stix, yogurt, crackers, basically finger foods.  If you take a fruit juice box and freeze them you can put them in with the food.  They keep the food cold and are thawed by lunch time (at least in FL they are!).
