Do a forum search of your question and you will get a ton of great answers.
Basically, a homemade version of just about anything is going to be better for you than a pre-made, store bought version, mostly due to addes sugars and salt. Go for higher protein (especialy if you are working out a lot), higher fiber, healthy fats (fats from plants instead of animals). Plenty of vegetables and fruits, as close to their natural form as possible to help retain vitamins.
Hang out here in Food & Nutrition, and in the recipe forum. Read, Read, Read.

I love all types of fast food so the first thing I changed was eating out all the time. It saves money too. I just took my favorite fast food meals and made them into awesome home made versions.

Tacos - I switched to turkey ground meat because you can't even taste the difference with the taco seasoning. I also cut out cheese and sour cream and replaced with salsa but just cutting back helps.

Fajitas - can't go wrong with chicken breasts, peppers, onions and salsa

Burgers - lean beef and piled high with lettuce tomatoes and pickles gives you a filling meal and a great source of protein. Cut back on high calorie condiments like mayo.

Chicken wings - switching out deep fried for baked and skinless can save a lot of calories and still give you that buffalo goodness you're looking for on game day.

Basically, substitute your usually high calorie counterparts for leaner cuts of meat, a better way of cooking and less high calorie condiments and you'll still be able to eat your favorite meals.
