Low carb lunch

I thought this might be a little off topic for the fitness thread, so here goes...
I'm trying to cut more carbs from my diet, since most of my meals have some sort of carb base. I've pretty much got it down for dinner, and I don't really want to modify my breakfast (oatmeal + toast) since I still want some carbs, but my real sticking point is lunch.
I guess the main issue I have is that I have limited refrigeration space, and most low carb recipes call for things that need to be refrigerated. I have access to a bar fridge, and that's all. I tend to do the shopping and bulk cook dinners twice a week, and that really doesn't leave much room in the fridge, so my go to lunch is a PB&J. Does anyone have any suggestions for ways around this - low carb staples that don't need refrigeration?
With raw vegetables, do I really need to keep them refrigerated? IE, celery, capsicums, etc. They generally get used with 4 days of purchase, would it be enough just to keep them in a cooler bag?
I was thinking about having a shake for lunch, but I don't need extra calories... any other suggestions for low carb lunches? I'm a student, so I normally eat on the go, but I can cook things in bulk a couple of times a week.

Doesn't really meet your refrigeration problem, but it is real easy and yummy.
YUM!
