2 year old eating literally nothing

I’m at my wits end here! My 2 year old throws EVERY meal on the floor, meaning he eats literally nothing. He picks veg out of food and eats that but the rest goes on the floor. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I explain to him that we don’t throw food on the floor, we eat it and things like that, the only thing he’ll really eat is fruit loaf with jam on. And fruit and veg. He loves water and drinks plenty of milk, he eats a lot of yoghurt too.

I make home cooked meals most of the time, I try and make things he likes, but he still refuses it and chucks it. I made him omelette for breakfast this morning, he’s not eaten any of it. When I make sandwiches for his lunch he pulls them apart and abandons them and doesn’t eat. Is it just an age thing? Am I a crap parent?!

Please share some tips and ideas of different meals I can try!
