My daughter has always been a picky eater, from the moment we started solids and even now at 11 years old. I struggle to find things for her to take to school to eat that’s not junk and not peanut butter. She mainly only likes plain carbs like bread with butter, plain spaghetti, etc. She got sick of the bread and was just throwing it out. Pasta she can’t take because she won’t eat it cold and a thermos will get forgotten in her bag or at school. She barely will eat any fruit. She loves peanut butter but that’s not allowed. I tried making homemade pizza for her to take but she didn’t like that, she only likes Pizza Hut. I’ve tried having her go grocery shopping with me and pick out foods but nothing. She liked yogurt and the yogurt tubes for awhile, as well as cheese but she will no longer eat it.

I’m trying to encourage a better healthy diet but nothing works. When she comes home from school she will make frozen pizza or chicken nuggets. She will eat steak when I make it but that’s expensive to make everyday until she gets sick of it. I used to be a picky eater but not this picky. I found out she doesn’t eat at school because she doesn’t like anything I pack for her. And if she had it her way if she packed her lunch she would take only junk food.

She used to go to my mother in laws after school and my MIL would try to force her to eat her cooking. She tried to cater to her tastes by making steak and plain rice but she now refuses that. My MIL gets frustrated as she wants to see her eat well.

Anyone else have kids that are extremely picky and never grew out of it? Right now all she wants is Oreo cereal 🤦🏼‍♀️
