laptoplunches.com has some really good recipes on it. it's a site that primarily sells bento sets, but they have tons of recipes to fill those bento sets!

I went to a party yesterday where the hostess made Italian rice balls. I had never even heard of them before but they were delicious. Hers had cheese and spinach in them, but you could do any fillings. There are lots of recipes on the web for these, but the gist is that they're kind of like meatballs, just with rice instead of meat. She said that they're served either hot or cold. I think they would be good cold with some marinara to dip in.

Also Thermos makes a wide-mouth container called a funtainer that does a good job of keeping things hot (or cold) - he could pack things like soups, macaroni and cheese, stir-fries, pasta and other hot things in one of those.

Keep a stash of protein bars from GNC. I buy them when they're on sale and many of them are quite good. I eat them for breakfast (one bar lasts me all morning).

Other suggestions: Protein shake in a thermos cooler..., Hard boiled eggs or egg salad sandwhich, Avacado sandwich, Tortilla roll up with peanut butter.

Beans can be eaten cold. You could mix some up with some pasta and have a cold pasta salad. A regular salad with beans. Salsa and chips, hummus & pita, some fruit/veggie.

Carrot sticks, broccoli,celery, cucmber, cherry tomatoes and sliced red or gold bell pepper, melon fruits, cheese or egg whites if he's octovegan.
nuts, salads hummus and veggie sticks n and pita bread,

I have found dehydrated green bean chips to be quit satisfying. Peanut butter and jelly, or peanut butter, banana and honey.

You might even try looking up some cold soup recipes on line, Jimmy Johns Sandwich shop has an awesome veggie sand which. However I don't recommend the one on their wonderful french bread as it is a whopping 52 grams of carbs. Now one of the most important things to remember when eating vegetarian is that veggies are carbs. Even though they are healthy slow burning carbs in most cases; ( except potatoes) THEY ARE STILL CARBS. And unless you combine 2 incomplete carbs at each meal which would be rice and beans, or maybe spinach; I think it has a small amount of protein;.....YOU ARE LACKING PROTEIN IN YOUR DIET, unless you implementing a protein powder.
A great number of vegetarians tend to be very high in body fat even though they may appear slender their body fat is high because they lack adequate
protein to sustain adequate muscle mass therefore they decrease their muscle mass while increasing their body fat and if they are athletic they are probably burn their muscle mass foe energy increasing the body fat even more all while getting thinner...... So make sure he is getting 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, and more if he is athletic.
