People are often surprised about what they're actually eating. I use pop as an example a lot because many people consume it without even thinking.
When I started getting back in to shape, I kept an actual diary of all the things I ate each day. I'd literally write down, you know, 1 apple, 2 bannanas, one cup of rice, one breast of chicken, one can of chicken stalk, half an onion, etc etc. At the end of the day I'd add it up. After a few weeks of checking the various fat, protein, carb and caloric value of foods I got a much better handle on what I was eating. I was surprised how much I was actually eating, without even thinking about it really.
The most basic changes that will have a large effects are to cut out refined sugars, white breads, and extra fats (like mayo, butter and what not) that don't occur naturally in foods.
