[quote=Anonymous]OP, my 16 yr old is still a very picky eater.  He eats maybe 5 protein varieties, one fruit, no veggies unless forced (and then he only eats broccoli) and any carb out there.  He has been slowly adding things to his diet.  This is mostly because of school lunches (his school is doing hybrid and he buys lunch with his friends), and pre-Covid he hung out with his youth group and did venture out of his food comfort zone.  He will eat whatever is in front of him if he is truly starving, but if he didn’t like it we hear about it for MONTHS.  The only food he refuses consistently is fish.  I honestly have never pushed it because I don’t like fish and only eat it under duress.  my DH always pushed new foods at him and it always backfired. I’ve always taken a live and let live attitude as long as he got a balanced diet (yes I’m the mom that used to hide the vegetables in the food).  Really, this is up to him now. I have a funny feeling that he will venture out even more as he matures.  He probably will not have a really varied diet, but it won’t be as restrictive as it has been.[/quote]
