My main problem is the fact that food that is easy and not time consuming to make is really horrible for you. I haven't been able to train myself to think "In an hour I will be hungry" and start making something better for me then.
Additionally, when I am working I find it a pain in the ass to really make anything time consuming, and for lunch it's impossible - and usually my options are some sort of really bad cafeteria food or really bad fast food.
Cooking one portion at a time gets old very quickly. Provided you have a microwave oven at your workplace (I know Swedish workplaces and university campuses are unusally well equipped when it comes to this) you can make extra portions and bring one to work to heat up. Or you could just eat the same stuff for dinner two days in a row... Some dishes can be deep-frozen together with the rice/pasta/whatever, allowing you to have a stock of easily available dinners in the freezers. Fresh vegetables to eat on the side doesnt take many minutes of preparation. And keep control over your intake of basic foodstuffs such as pasta (70-100g per portion) or rice (about 1dl per portion) as eating too much of that adds to the calory count as well...
You can also cut a lot of empty calories (and maybe save some money) by drinking tap water with your meals, but that requires the tap water to be tasty in the first place. I wouldnt be able to drink water treated with chlorine
