One thing to consider is pre-made processed food has tons of sodium in them to bring out taste due to the absorption of salt.
When I cook for myself, I use a fraction of the salt that a pre-made equivalent normally ships with.
I recall reading a blurb about how when processed foods don't do well in taste-testing research panels, they are instructed to dump in the sodium, with the result of positive results to follow up panels.
