A lot of it has to do with time as well. I used to eat pretty unhealthy at the start of my career. Not because I didn't have the money to buy good food. Coming home at 9-10 at night feeling exhausted did not inspire me to at all to cook a good meal. Sure on the weekends I would murder a couple of high quality ingredients in my attempts to make something edible, but 5 days out of the week it was microwave meals or pizza.
McDonald's salads for lunch was pretty much the healthiest thing I ate during that time. If you don't have a well paying job that option is pretty much out, considering a salad costs $7 and a burgers starts at $1.
