Sandwiches!! They also sell packs of tuna (no draining necessary), vacuum sealed chicken breast, and tuna filets. You could eat cold chicken breasts, as long as they're cooked, theres nothing wrong with that.

Do what Ox does and just get yourself some glassware and eat your food cold. As long as it's cooked and sealed up in a ziplock or glassware (or any Tupperware container), you're good to go.
My favorite cold meats are steak and chicken, and favorite cold carbs are rice, mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes.
"back in the day" (82-86) when i helped my dad build houses, we would pack pre cooked food and keep in a cooler until lunch. we had an aluminum plate we kept in the truck, and at lunch, crank the truck, let the engine warm up with the alum. plate on it, then put the food, wrapped in foil, on it to warm. it never got piping hot, but suitably warm. backwoods bbq

Those who worry the most about overtraining are the ones that don't train HARD enough and aren't STRONG enough to need to worry about it.

i'm an electrician to man we have one microwave between a crew of about 15 guys!! buy a cheap one ( get everyone to toss in 5$ each if your with a crew) its worth it, hot food is alot better than cold plate.
I cook in bulk and weigh out servings and put it all in Tupperware. Throw it in the microwave in the morning and put it right in the thermos and it's still hot at lunch time.
I usually do steak and rice, just cuz I love it. Some times it's chicken and rice, sometimes steak and potatoes.
So much better than a cold sandwich, especially when it's cold out.

that's the way to go. luckily I have access to ovens where I work so I can reheat anything I want. but there is plenty of cold foods that are good. Chicken/tuna/salmon salad is always delicious, hard boiled eggs, make your own pasta salad, whatever.

thermos/cooler is the prime option imo. if all else fails though, vacuum sealed salmon, tuna, and chicken packets always work. I MUCH prefer the bumblebee salmon to Chicken of the Sea fyi. and make sure, if you get canned/packed fish/poultry, that it's in water, not in oil, i find the taste to nearly gag me if it's in oil.

I take chicken breast to school warm in the morning but when lunch comes it is cold as shit! The shits nasty but is good for me. I eat it but it seems to ok. The only thing I might get later is gas.
get a heated cooler that plugs into a 12volt in your car. That way you can keep your food for a while. If not get the thermos. Best of luck man.

Cooler is the way to go. When I was clerking this summer, I just made all my meals the night before and tossed em in. I used blue ice packs to keep it cool and just ate it cold. Never bothered me much, and cold turkey is actually pretty damn good.
funny you say that, cause im eating cold turkey as we speak. haha
