    No, and you can't look for food safety advice on this forum

    Depending on what the veg is, best bet might be to (par)cook it in advance. Potatoes, carrots and the like could be cooked, frozen and reheated (oven roasted or pan fried in butter/oil works well).

    Otherwise, I'd get ziplock bags or a completely airtight lunchbox and keep the veg in it with some water. Main problem with a lunchbox that leaks air is that the outside of somehting like potatoes oculd go hard or discoloured - skin protects it normally, hence an airtight container working well.

    When you say "Would it be OK?"...

    If you mean "Would it make me sick & possibly kill me?" - The answer is "We don't allow discussion of food safety in this forum."

    If you mean "Would the veg be dried-up, off-colour & generally manky by the end of the week?" - The answer is "Probably."

    You should look at a mandoline, chops veg up in no time at all, so you can prep and cook pretty much immediately.
