That sounds about like our lo, bread, gold fish, crackers, apples, dried fruits. She won't eat an actual meal.

Plain pasta, fruit, bread, squash, broccoli, cheese, yogurt, kefir, chicken....

She hates beef and pasta sauce!

Wish I had advice for you, my son eats terrible too. He doesn't eat a single vegetable and the only fruit he eats is blueberries. I give him pouches so at least he gets some sort of fruits and veggies. He refuses to try anything new, so frustrating!

I had to just stop offering those kind of snacks/foods entirely to get her to eat a "balanced" meal for awhile. She pretty quickly went back to eating mostly veggies and fruit and even added meat to her diet (which she has almost always refused). About every 2-3 days I'll offer her a snack of pretzels or crackers but it can't be an everyday thing or thats all she wants.

Getting C to at least take a couple bites of something new is a huge victory for us. We start out by offering him the same things we are eating for meals- that is all he gets while we are eating dinner. He usually picks at it and plays around with the food, after a while we offer a crutch: ketchup, bbq sauce, etc. Later on we offer the bulk of what he eats- cottage cheese, turkey, rotisserie chicken, Greek yogurt. If he's having a day where he just hasn't eaten well, we have fall backs of baked sweet potato fries, Nutrigrain bars, tortilla with butter, peanut butter sandwich, mac and cheese, etc.

He will. not. touch many veggies, eggs, pasta with tomato sauce, pizza. Homeboy is a lesson in frustration- he loves ketchup, but not tomato pasta sauce; loves fries, but will not touch potatoes that are mashed. When we go out to eat he often surprises us and tries a lot of different things. Toddlers

Liam will eat certain foods he wouldn't normally eat if he can dip it in something: chicken dipped in BBQ sauce, raw broccoli dipped in ranch, carrots dipped in humus. Some of the sauces aren't that healthy, but I could make healthier versions. He also loves pasta with sauce, so I mix in a lot of veggies that way. Smoothies are also a great way to get veggies in!

@NaturallyCathy: sure!

First thing when she wakes up she asks for her yogurt. A kefir yogurt pouch (probugs - found at whole foods)
Breakfast: oatmeal + fruit or eggs, bacon, fruit, and sometimes waffle
Lunch: apple gate farms ham or turkey, leftover veggies (asparagus, carrots, peas and corn are her favorites), and fruit.
Dinner: meat + veggies + rice, we have pasta once a week but follow this idea for the rest of the week

For snacks she has : raisins, grapes, pouches, cheese, kale and banana smoothie, granola, cashews, and sometimes pretzels with hummus.

Also. She gets sweet treats like fro-yo or cookies or something on the weekend or if we are feeling generous. She's also been known to only eat French fries for lunch. But if say 80% of the time she eats great and almost everything we offer her. 20% it's pizza fries and noodles lol because those days happen to everyone
