    I would say add some natural good fats... some nuts or maybe an extra piece of fruit

    If you're not hungry and most of your foods are nutrient dense with good proteins, healthy fats (olive oil, coconut oil, real butter not margarine, avocado, nuts) and a great variety of veggies then I wouldn't stress, listen to your body's hunger signals. Lean Cuisine would not be my personal first choice for nourishing my body, too processed. Fresh, whole foods that you cook yourself, maybe quick salads, better choices. 1200 is not some magic "one size fits all" number, it's a "let's cover our butt so we don't get sued if some 6ft person goes too low number". I'm 5'3" and if I counted calories my low number is not going to be the same as that of someone much taller.

    If your weight loss has stalled then I can "maybe" see making yourself try eating more to shake things up but for the most part I think forcing ourselves to eat is counterproductive. Unhealthy thinking about food is the kind of thing that led to our weght problems in the first place.
