DD after 13M decided to be uber picky and the whole strategy of putting a variety of foods in front of her and the option of if she doesn't eat she'll be hungry and then eat is a joke. PP - She went 24 hrs without eating one day - was I supposed to starve her for another? That's a stupid tactic that doesn't work with all kids. With food, you gotta work with the kid. In matters of health I would not compromise as long as what she will eat is healthy. May suck for me to cater to her but I'm not having her sick.
She lives on black beans and rice, chicken nuggets, halal food truck and the occasional egg fried rice I make if she's in a good mood. For some reason she loves homemade Latino foods which my nannies/babysitters all do for her but I'm not Latino!
. But she doesnt do veggies. She does yogurt, waffles, pancakes, bread, eggs, milk and cheerios and apples - She can eat 2 whole apples a day if I let her. That's it. She won't touch Mac and cheese, grilled cheese, pbj, spaghetti - everything my 4 yr old likes!
So you see - its annoying but at the age of 2 - what am I to do? Developmentally she's great, can feed herself, talk, etc. she's just picky and stubborn. OP - as long as you've got a couple foods from the major food groups it'll be ok. DD is 90% height 75% weight healthy as all can be. My first kid was a nightmare too with food. But slowly after age 3 as his communication grew stronger, it got easier to open him up. At age 4 he has his favorites but its not as extreme as it used to be. It'll be ok - good luck!
