That’s pretty much it. [b]No burgers or hot dogs[/b]. No sandwiches. 
No sauces on food. No dipping sauce except hummus. 
Ped says he eats too many food for feeding therapy. We just let him eat from his rotation. On the bright side - he can and will eat the same thing every day. When we were home for the early pandemic, he ate PB&J, apple slices, and milk for lunch every day from mid-March until the end of June. 7 days a week. When he was 3 or 4, I made him Annie’s Mac and cheese every day for 6 months. [/quote]

Hot dogs and hamburgers aren't that great for you.   To me, his eating habits look pretty healthy.[/quote]

DP, but a big part of pickiness is the social component. My picky eater will eat quinoa and sushi, but still can't eat outside the house pretty much at all. No kids menus, friends' houses, backyard cook outs, camp, etc. I'd be thrilled for him to eat a hamburger if it meant he got a playdate invitation over dinner time. [/quote]

One more thing - the rigidity and inflexibility in different social situations is a manifestation of anxiety. The anxiety is a problem, even if nutritional intake is not. [/quote]
