When I put in over an 8 hour day I usually order to "treat" myself. Spending about $6 at the local chinese restaurant. When working 8 hours or less I try to bring something. Usually it's a stoffers or a hungry man or something. Thing is, I want to eat a bit healthier. The chinese I eat is usually good stuff (Chicken and Green Beans w/ rice or similar). But how do you guys eat healthy for less?
Eating Healthy for Less

I had two tuna sandwiches every day for lunch all summer. I haven't had a piece of tuna since I've been back to school.
can't you just pack a turkey sandwich, light on the mayo go miracle whip, low fat swiss and load it up with some tomatoes and lettuce? add an apple and you can't go wrong.

A tuna sandwich at subway has the most fat of any sandwich there.
make sure u dont get any extra mayonaise with ur tuna. otherwise, it wont be healthy at all.
also, some people think eating greens with a meal just makes the meal healthy. not true at all. so what if greens give you some minerals and vitamins? eating a celery with a whopper meal is a heart attack plus better eyesight or something. i 0n0. just my 2 cents.

My day consists of:
Egg whites and toast in the morning with milk
Some kind of fruit for a snack (I prefer Musselman's lite Apple Sauce)
Leftovers for lunch (usually chicken breasts with a vegetable, or stuffing, or rice, but sometimes I'll make beef or fish)
Granola bar for a snack
Light dinner (same stuff I have for lunch)
It's quite cheap, and healthy. My cholesterol and fat intake for the day is very low, but I get plenty of fiber and protein.

Here's my recipe for "bowl served" protein bars. (they are sticky and gooey, so you pretty much have to eat it out of a tupperware bowl)
9 scoops of Whey Protein powder (chocolate, I use Optimum Nutrition)
1 small box of Chocolate Fat Free, Sugar Free Jello Pudding mix
1¼ cup Skim Milk
1-3 Tablespoons of Honey (depending on your goals and taste factors)
1-5 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter (depending on your goals and taste factors)
Mix into a batter.
Mix in 3 cups of Quaker Whole Oats (not instant oatmeal).
Divide into 3-4 servings. (3 for me)
You can perfect the consistancy by adding or removing milk (1Cup-1 1/3 cup).
I like mine with 1¼ cup.
You suck at giving directions. "One to Five?" Just give what you normally use and note that they can adjust it if they want to.
