To tell my DD3 to starve if nothing is good enough?

[sidesplittinglol]

Ok a bit OTT but she is driving me to the edge at the moment. No food is good enough for her. Meal times are so hard as she has limited me to the amount of food she will eat. She then complains she's hungry but won't eat anything that's good for her. She'd live on biscuits and chocolate if she could.

Things she won't eat:

Pasta
Cheese
Tomato sauce
Any type of meat
Potato (apart from chips)
Rice
Egg (only boiled)
All veg
Beans
Toast (hit and miss)

I'm not great at meal ideas as it is but I feel this list limits me so much.

I've tried to make the food fun and look nice but the second she sees something she doesn't like it sets the tone for the rest of the meal and she won't eat it.

Can anyone please suggest anything I can do or make.

Mine was like that for years. He's still fussy, but it's better.

When he refuses to eat something, fine. But the only "snacks" he is free to have inbetween meals is vegetables or something from the bowl of fruit.

I also used 3D animal/aeroplane vegetable cutters when he wouldn't eat veggies, and would make him little planes and elephants - that worked for him almost straight away.

No bad snack in the house, for any of us, otherwise he wouldn't eat.

It took a few years but when he started to get a bit older (4) and could understand I started to make him at least try a tiny piece of whatever I made. That way if he liked it, he liked it, if not, I put it on the back burner to try again in a few months. He prefers savoury things, and doesn't like sauces. Fine. I don't push him, he's just got really sensitive tastebuds. Just take it slow with your LO, no bad snacks, no cake etc. It'll come in time.
