To be at the end of my tether with my 3 year old’s eating?

I’m at the end of my tether with my 3 year old son’s eating 🙁

He doesn’t eat cheese, egg, any sort of meat unless it’s in a nugget form, pasta (used to be our go to), potato unless it’s in a shape, he won’t eat sandwiches, cereal or baked beans.

Things he will eat:
Olives, cucumber, tomato, broccoli, most fruit, peas, crackers, crisps, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, turkey drumsticks, occasionally fish fingers, minion or Thomas shaped pasta, potato shapes - smiley faces or alphabet shapes (won’t eat a chip though), he’ll eat a macdonalds (of course!) but we don’t have those very often, maybe every two months. He has a smoothie for his breakfast every morning, he’s gone off toast now too.
Every meal time we end scraping his food into the bin and it’s becoming soul destroying.

He’s a bright, active, sociable boy who wants to learn, so I have no concerns there, just the eating part…

I give him a multivitamin every morning in his smoothie.

I have 2 nephews who lived on garden peas with bread and butter - for years.
They're now 2, 6 foot, handsome hunks.
They had a very laid back Mum who knew it wouldn't go on for ever but would last longer if it became a battle of wills.

I have a 6'3" beautiful 19yr old who literally lived off houmous, carrot sticks and bread for about 7 years. Hmm With a bi-weeklyroast dinner and an occasional steak and kidney pie.
So restrictive but he did survive.
