In order to lose weight, consume less calories than you expend.

Go here to work out your base metabolic rate (the calories you need to maintain weight if sedentary):

To lose 1 pound of fat per week, you want to be at a caloric deficit (burning more than you eat) of 500 per day.

To work out how many calories the food you're eating per day is, go here:

Set yourself up a journal and every day, input what you ate. It also allows you to estimate how much energy you burn if you're not completely sedentary.

If you can eat a junk food lunch and still have a caloric deficit, you'll still lose weight. If you cant, you should eat something healthier and less calorie dense.

What you eat has an impact on your health and how good you feel, but it's still the total calories that matter. If you ate one big mac a day and nothing else you'd probably lose weight, for example. Chances are though that you should replace your unhealthy lunch with something healthy like a tuna or chicken sandwich, or a protein shake.
