1.  Turkey and cheese sandwich or roast beef and cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread. I buy the bread at the farmer's market or the bakery because it doesn't have preservatives or extra sugar in it. I buy the turkey or roast beef or ham at the grocery store deli.
2. Peanut butter or sun butter sandwich. I look for peanut butter or sun butter that doesn't have added sugar. 
3. String cheese or a yogurt, if they don't want a sandwich. I look for yogurt with a lower sugar content. 
4. Grapes or carrots or an apple or a banana

DS buys a carton of milk at school or drinks water.

There's nothing extreme in that menu, but it's a lot better than a Lunchable. It has less added sugar, fewer chemical preservatives, and less fat. It doesn't have a candy bar or a cookie or  a sugary drink in it. The fat content for a turkey sandwich or a roast beef sandwich on whole wheat is a lot less than the Lunchables ham and crackers.   It has more fiber, which offsets the natural sugar content.

We also pack leftovers in Tupperware for lunch.  Lots of things will stay warm if you  microwave them and put them in an insulated lunch sack.  [/quote]
