More carbs than would be in a handful of crackers or pretzels. "Healthy" certainly varies by person. Bring vegetarian AND knowing my own body and habits I have to actively be aware of limiting carbs and am better off filling up on veggies. I'm not judging anyone's sandwich, but I've lost weight and getting way more veggie intake when I'm home without even trying and this is the main difference in my diet.
Just use a good sprouted grain bread like Ezekiel bread. The bread alone is a good source of protein. But you could do a PB&J, tomato and cheese sandwich or avocado, cucumbers, arugula. Egg and cheese sandwich (id fry egg at home, let cool, build the sandwich, then microwave a bit when ready to eat at work). There are also sprouted grain wraps or good quality whole grain wraps if you can’t find spouted grain. Fill with hummus and cut veggies. Incorporating whole grains would be healthier option (fprotein, fiber, and filling) than having handfuls of pretzels and rice cakes- which offer little nutrition
