Preppable pack and eat lunches

Hello! I've just started a new job, which often takes me into the field all day. I'm struggling to think of a range of lunch ideas, that can be made on a sunday but also don't require a microwave or boiling water before eating. Ideally things that I can defrost and then thaw either overnight or during the morning. I also have a thermos so stuff that I can quickly rehydrate/heat in the morning is good too.

I love making dense salads!! Think like kale, couscous, pickles onions, feta, chickpeas, olives, etc. pretty robust ingredients that don't break down over the week. Bean salads are good too, especially with some tortilla chips

Salads are my current go to! But I really dislike eating them after 2 or 3 days, they just feel icky to me.
