Since I'm into healthy food and my boyfriend is a junk food junky, I can help.
When I cook meats, like steaks, or pork chops, or Chicken, I use very little salt and grill or broil them, then I make fries for my boyfriend and grilled veggies for me.
For example
Preheat oven to 400
Cut up 1/2 of an eggplant into strips
quarter 1-2 large tomatoes
slice 1 large sweet onion
slice 1 green and 1 red pepper into strips
toss with olive oil, (enough to cover all veggies) and salt and pepper to taste.
Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes.
You can also try putting rose-marry on the veggies and they are soo good.
Also, try grilling veggies like the above on a grill pan when grilling chkn and make a box of instant rice and and you have a very healthy and yummy meal.
Also, don't be afraid to actually make yourself dinner, like roasted meats and veggies, it may seem like alot of time but it's not.
Pasta is also a very nice option.
Just boil a small amount of past (whatever you like)
and toss with pesto sauce or even olive oil and garlic.
Trust me there are tons of things out there for you to make, you just have to watch out for them.
