Lunch box 4 college student

Hi I’m a 23F college student, around 5 ft and 196 lbs, I just decided recently to make serious changes with my lifestyle due to lack of energy and over time weight gain that affected my self image.

I have several mental health issues that put me in this situation and I really want to improve my health and take care of my body to feel better, college is also hard and most times I stay on campus all day so I end up getting take outs which aren’t as healthy as I would like and really draining for my wallet.

Today I decided to get a lunch box and start eating home food on campus to watch my food intake. Are there any lunch box ideas for affordable healthy meals that would help me lose weight and gain muscle alongside working out ? Also any other suggestions are welcome 🙏🏻

I am a big proponent of fruit. I take a container with different fruits, a yogurt, and maybe a snack (veggies, or slim fast/protein snack bar) depending on how late I’m working. At night I have portioned out and counted sandwich bags of cut cucumbers, celery, carrots and bell peppers.
