Even just adding in carrot sticks, celery, more fresh fruits etc ...

(You could also make huge pots of veggie stew or soup and have those as leftovers in place of some of your packaged meals. It's cheaper, more nutritionally dense, and it is pretty easy to figure out the caloric amounts / serving size.)
I was thinking about that earlier today. I have virtually no vegies or fruits going into my body. I really need to work on that. Thank you.
