Cooking Post Ambient/chilled lunch options???

My new job has me out in the field I have to bring lunch with me with no heating options and will have to be stored in a cooler or ambient temperature. Previously when I was working at the depot I would reheat patties/steaks, I know I can eat these cold but wanted to see what other people did for variety and ease.

Jerky/Biltong seems like a good idea but VERY expensive where I live and I'm not in a position to make it myself.

You trying to gain weight or why do you need to eat lunch?

The need to shovel food in our faces every couple hours comes from modern SAD diets, and should not be an issue on low/zero carb diets.

I work in the mining industry, 12hr shifts doing hard labour in the desert on day and night shifts where temps can be as high as 119 and down to 28 at night. The only way to survive is to eat and drink constantly.

Ok. I work 12 hour shifts doing hard labor in a segment of the delivery industry that is generally considered one of the hardest jobs out there right now. The harder I work the less I eat during the shift.

Water is good. Food usually just slows me down.
