Sack Lunch for a Swimmer

My teen son, who swims 90 minutes each day and eats like a horse, has decided to quit eating meat and cheese. I have been challenged to provide him sack lunches that do not contain pizza or hot dogs! (He refuses to take containers of soup or salad that might pop open in his backpack.) So far, he has been a good sport about pita pockets, calzones and burritoes. Today he LOVED his wraps:

• Tortilla
• Red pepper hummus
• Green leaf lettuce
• Bell pepper strips
• Sliced black olives
• Raw Sunflower seeds

I'd love to hear your brown bag ideas! What to you do for food "on the go"?
