Does this sound like sensory issues

Sounds like a fairly varied toddler diet to me!

Seems like a lot to me...that wouldn't constitute fussy eating in my world. At that age my ds lived entirely off Weetabix.

Sounds very healthy and lovely.

It sounds like she eats a really good variety of tastes and textures. It’s not processed junk. You’ve got protein, dairy, fruit and veggies. Yeah I get she doesn’t like eggs, cheese or some pasta sauces but no one likes everything and I don’t think she sounds fussy at all, quite the opposite actually. I don’t know how or why you’re thinking sensory issue- do you suffer from anxiety or is there more to it, like issues in other areas?

No not in the slightest! You sound deluded thinking this is restrictive 😂. You say she won’t touch eggs but then you say she eats hard boiled eggs.

What are your concerns? She is eating well if she is happy to eat all those foods.

That doesn't sound fussy or sensory to me.

I thought you were talking about a 24 year old male 😆

How many times are you going to name change and ask the same questions over and over?

Your child sounds like she is developing well within the typical range.

Get some help for your extreme anxiety and stop trying to find things wrong with your child.

I thought this was a 24 year old male…they can be fussy eaters too!

2 year old has varied diet. Nothing to see here. Is this like a stealth boast or something OP?

Mine lives on ready brek at that age. That is what a 'fussy' eater looks like.

I also thought it was a lost 24M from Reddit, but the giveaway was that 24M fussy eaters tend to eat very little that isn't beige or pizza.

Mine lasted for about 6 months on plain spaghetti and fish fingers at that age!
That's not fussy.
Obviously she may not eat every meal you put in front of her - she may be less hungry, feeling tired, a bit poorly, or just not fancy what you've given her at that particular moment.

I also read this as a 24 year old Male initially and thought the amount of milk was a bit weird.

This is literally a normal food diary for a toddler

That's not fussy at all! It's completely normal for toddlers to become very fussy and stick to the same foods at this age. It's an evolved behaviour to ensure they don't eat dangerous or poisonous foods just as they've developed the physical ability to explore more. It's a safety mechanism and is completely normal.
Just keep offering the variety like you already are and don't be worried or alarmed at all if they start refusing stuff.
Absolutely not a sensory issue (but again, a degree of this is normal as the brain is deciding what's 'safe' and what isn't).

At that age I struggled to get my eldest to eat anything other than tomato pasta. "Fussy"!

That's not even fussy. Sounds like a perfectly nice diet. My DD ate only a grand total of 8 foods at one point, now that was fussy.

Agree, definitely not fussy eating!

That's not a fussy eater at all.
Not in the slightest. That's a bloody good eater.

That's loads. Ds1 was a carbivore at that age refused most meat and veg and lived off pasta, rice, potato.

He's a thriving 14yo now with a normal diet BTW.

Well at that age my DS ate cheese & tomato pizza, pasta with cheese and mini potato waffles . And bits of chopped fruit.

Pretty sure the OP is fully aware that she does not have a fussy eater here.

I don't believe that you really think that diet makes your kid look fussy?!
Sounds like a humble brag almost!

Wow. My 2yo eats solely shreddies and pasta with cream cheese on it.

Because the boiled egg was disguised in the pork meatballs otherwise she wouldn’t touch it 😌

A lot of people eat eggs in things but don't like the texture of a boiled egg.
That's completely normal.
