Filling, healthy meals for on-the-go with no odors and no fridge or freezer required?

31F 5’3” SW: 186lbs CW: 166lbs

I’m struggling to find meals I can bring to work. Most things are out of the question because we don’t have a fridge or freezer, my jaw can’t handle meal/protein/fiber bars and my stomach can’t handle shakes. We have a microwave, but there are restrictions on what we can heat up (nothing that smells). I’ve even gotten in trouble for eating street tacos that didn’t need the microwave because my lunch ”stinks.” I later learned the offending odor was onions. I was later asked to bring in lunch from home because there’s not enough time order in or sit in at any local food spots and be ready to work by the end of lunch break. Lunch is a strict, non-negotiable time frame because it’s based on when programs are in session. I can’t still be eating or out of the building when people arrive.

Because there are many other issues with this workplace, I’m actively looking for another job. Most workplaces have more flexibility with meals, as long as I’m not microwaving fish.

In the meantime, what can I even bring for lunch that will be filling and won’t destroy my weight loss goals? Each of my meals has to have carbs, and I’m working to increase fiber and unsaturated fat to keep me full (protein too but this doesn’t fill me). I’ve tried simply not eating at work, but this led to binging and dizziness.
