To just send what he eats to school?

So my son, aged 7, just eats a sandwich and maybe a piece of fruit every day, meaning I’m sending in snacks every day that don’t get touched. Aibu to just send in a sandwich and a piece of fruit? He says he doesn’t have long to eat lunch, so the snacks just come home untouched (and often if it’s a yoghurt or something it needs to go in the bin which seems a shame)

I wouldn't put yougarts in if hes not eating them. I'd put stuff in that lasts just incase he doesnt eat them.

He will absolutely have enough time to eat more than just a sandwich. I wonder if he's leaving the snacks as he doesn't really want to eat them and would rather be outside playing with his friends.

Does he get hungry? Are you just sending snacks he doesn’t want?
