The problem with fast food restaurants for the most part is even the "healthier" choices aren't that good. McDonalds uses Iceberg lettuce, the cheapest and lest beneficial kind.
On the road, try to find a Subway or Mr. Sub. A more economical choice (an healthier) is to keep a stock of healthy foods in your car or purse. Try keeping ready-to-eat cans of tuna, granola bars or even a box of cereal in your car.
For at home, it's more than just what you eat, it's how you prepare what you eat. Don't fry your chicken, grill it. Buy lean cuts of meat, and eat less pork. Avoid bacon, but subsitute for chicken or turkey bacon. A great thing is grapeseed oil. It's cheaper, healthier and better tasting than your regular olive oil.
The most important thing is to be motivated. Set a goal, write it down, put it on a post-it note on your fridge, and stick to it. Find your incentive and think about it before you eat. Lastly, always eat breakfast even if it's a small one. It will boost your metabolism, as skipping breakfast for a year can result in more than 10 pounds of weight gain.
fast food restaurants also offer salads and some healthier choices.
pick a salad with lowfat dressing or no dressing at all. grab a cup of tea with it.
you can always find a substitute.
cut carrot sticks and leave in fridge so you can snack on them through the day, take a little snack bar out with you so if your in the car and hungry you can munch on that or gum. cook meals with plenty of carbohydrate this will keep you feeling full for longer. always eat breakfast this sets you up for the day. eat fruit and veg each day with main meal i.e chicken and don't cut out sweet/junk food just have it in moderatiomn denying your body treats will make you fall off the wagon but having a bit sometimes lets you have a break - it doesn't have to be diffucult if you don't make it =)
Start adding healthy things when you are going to eat, like veggies many of them you could eat raw, peanut butter on celery, fruits and drink plenty of water.
