I usually pack - my lunch normally consists of a sandwich, alternating between turkey and ham (occasionally roast beef), a few different kinds of fruit, greek yogurt, and maybe a snack of something later. Sometimes I'll have oatmeal once I get into the office. I try to keep a desk drawer stocked up with various snacks - granola bars, peanut butter crackers, and whatever else i can find that is non perishable. If nothing strikes my fancy, I just have an excuse to hop on my bike and pedal to the coffee shop and pick something up there.
I try to keep the left overs for a later week dinner when neither the wife nor I feel like cooking.

I have a lunch cooler that fits perfectly in one of my panniers, and I put shoes/clean clothes in the other one. An ice pack or two and it does the trick for me. I like to eat a bigger lunch/space it out throughout the day if I can. Sometimes I just want to eat the whole thing at once. I try to save my sweet tooth for breakfast (I read somewhere it is better to eat the sweets early so you don't crave them so much later).
