Stir fry with mung bean noodles and veggies? I normally add Tamari sauce and take in my no leak tupper ware but if you skip the sauce, it might be leak-safe? It's done very fast and it tastes great cold. You could also do the noodles fresh at work, since all you need is hot water and 3 minutes time.
I do a lot of dried/fresh fruit, nuts, boiled eggs, cheese and salads. If you have a fridge at work, you might be able to go to a local store and get ingredients to put together stuff there.
We generally use the enjoy-life brown rice wraps for sandwiches but do more just whole food dishes. My average lunch is a salad with some grilled chicken (I have a tendency to grill up a few on Sunday to last the week).... and I keep dressing at work in the fridge. I often eat breakfast at work, too, and like cheese and fruit for breakfast.
jerky, fruit, veg, pouches of tuna, roasted edamame. Tuna on a giant leaf of romaine witha little onion/pepper and olive oil is one of my favorite lunches and it can be assembled very easily.
All of the above ideas are great! I would add protein bars - some of them have only a few ingredients. Lara bars, for example, have dates, and maybe three other ingredients, no preservatives and do not need the fridge.
In my backpack, I always keep a couple of protein bars, some jerky and a couple of the Graze pummets. If you are interested in Graze (natural foods, very good), let me know and I'll get you a code so your first box is free.

we love thermos lunches. I crockpot soup and ricecooker brown rice, and then we eat that all week long. I love kale and white bean soup, minestrone, chili. I also make just basic protein and veg over rice (sausage or chicken breast, kale or broccoli) and put that in the thermoses too. I feed two celiacs and two picky non-celiacs lunch 5x a week in that manner (we also do salad jars).

note that the key to getting a leak-proof thermos lunch is a good thermos, i use a stainless steel thermos brand "funtainer" which also has a built in collapsable fork, i'd say "the kids like it" but hey, i like it too. :D
