At my old job, I would take Tupperware with stir-fry and stuff. Curry is good and reheats well.
At my current job, I don't get a lunch, just alternating five and ten minute breaks, so I don't want to waste time heating stuff. I also don't have a desk, so whatever I bring has to fit in my messenger bag. Here, I bring a peanut butter sandwich or some pretzels or granola bars, or I end up getting a Snickers from the vending machine.
I think it's important to have something to eat. Brain work is still work. You need to stay focused. Once I didn't eat before work (I work nights, so I have breakfast and lunch before and then a snack at work and a small dinner when I get home) and my hands started shaking by the middle of the evening and I couldn't walk in a straight line. SCARY.
