many people believe that eating pork is not healthy at all (religious wise).
Ham is a cured meat and has a lot of chemicals and others will say that it's not healthy for that reason alone.
If you want to compare white vs wheat bread, white bread has very little nutritional value whereas wheat has a lot more.
Turkey is healthy if you want to eat some protein and has lower fat than compared to ham.
It just comes down to how healthy you want to eat.
Even if you live in a dorm, you can eat very healthy but sounds like you're a typical guy, doesn't cook much and just eats out. Dorm cafeteria?
Well, you don't have to eat tofu burgers, whey shakes and wheat grass juice to be healthy.
The bottom line is that you want to eat so that you feel content and not hungry and don't look at foods you really want to eat but feel that if you do, you would be "cheating"
Look at what you eat as a life style change.
That is how I approached my eating habits and for the most part, I haven't gone back. I haven't had a cheeseburger in over 4 years. I rarely eat beef and don't miss it at all. Some might feel or think that a little here and there is good, but I feel that for me, the best is to just cut it out of what you eat.
