what to feed picky eaters?
Answers:
When I was in school my mom usually stocked up with simple lunch meats or pp&j, the variety packs of chips and some sort of Little Debbie box or something like that . . and if we wanted lunch the next day we had to make it ourselves. Which I thought (even at the time) was kinda cool cause I felt like a 'grown up' making my own lunch plus it was healthy for us. It was reasonably cheap too.

WHAT THEY LIKE
Whatever they will eat! Just to get them to eat foods that are healthy for them. You can also try supplementing with pediasure. I have a few friends that have this problem and they just give them whatever they like and try to stay away from the junk foods though. You're probably going to get a lot of people telling you that they should just eat whatever you serve,but I completely understand that is easier said than done! Good luck to you! ZOYA. nothing. if they get hungry enough then they will lose there pickyness
you can bake your own chicken nuggets for them. Just cut up some chicken breasts into chunks, dredge them in seasoned breadcrumbs, and bake until cooked through. There's no preservatives, they're not fried, and kids think they're getting one over on you. What kid doesn't like chicken nuggets?
Do they like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Are how about lunchable for lunches and kid cuisine for at home. My daughter loves the kid cuisines. .Source(s):
Here is a website that you can get a few ideas on recipes...

for their lunches pack small nutritional foods like carrot sticks, apple slices, or crackers along with a sandwich of their choice...put in a few cookies, brownies,or a slice of cake, etc. for dessert .. and bubble gum for them to chew during recess...they shouldn't complain about that...
Good luck!

I live in a big family with kids right around those ages.. I believe that children should eat with their parents. This is best done around a table.
I cannot see any reason why children should have different food. They might not yet like all of the food in a meal - tastes do change as we age - but they should eat most of it.
You have taken the trouble to design a balanced diet and provide a variety of delicious foods - they should eat it.
They will get into the habit of eating properly.
The same principle applies to packed lunches - a balanced diet. Fresh fruit, tasty breads, cold meats, yogurts and perhaps a small amount of chocolate as a treat. I too am a mom and I always found out what it was that they liked and gave it to them. I would slowly incorporate things that were good for them as well (but didn't neccessarily TELL them it was good for them). Those are words to doom! I find that they like it less if you tell them it is nutritious. Have a cookie cutter on hand as well.
Peanut butter and jelly become a brand new treat when it is in a different shape. Veggies? You could tempera them (dip in batter and deep fry). I used to get my kids to eat everything from Broccoli to eggplant that way. Cheese is another favorite among kids. Try adding some melted velvetta over their broccoli. Good luck.

put them also there. Last step is that you should put salt in it to your taste.You can also make different soups , they are very useful for everyone.
For the school lunch you may pack sandwitches( cheese, ham, and others).
If I knew where you live i'll give you better advice.
I'm sure I live in quite different country than you do ,so I know a lot of things that will help you but I'm not sure you guess all the ingredients. Contact me through my e-mail and i'll teach you a lot of things.
I have two children in thier early teens and never had such problems.
Even I'm not sure if I've written everything so you can understand. Rule number one: MAKE IT FUN! This may take some work, but if you make it fun and interesting, they are more likely to try it. Always have cookie cutters and food coloring on hand!
Your kids are also old enough to help you prepare food. Now, I'm not saying hand your 6 year olds a butcher knife and some veggies and let 'em loose. I remember as a kid how much fun I had helping my mom in the kitchen. She would measure everything off, and I would get to pour in ingredients and stir. When kids help make it, they're usually more likely to eat it. It also helps prepare them for real life. The only problem is that the other kids at college will forever be knocking on your kids' doors to eat. LOL
Below are some great sites with information about cooking with your kids and some kid friendly recipes. Print out a bunch of recipes and let your kids help you meal plan for the week. Cooking is a great bonding experience and a great legacy to pass on to your kids.

http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/FoodandFamily/Winter_2006/KidsCanCookChickenPotPie.htm Lay out some options for them (PB and J, Ham and Cheese, etc.) along with some other ideas, but make it fun by having them help you make their lunches. Instead of regular sandwiches, break out the cookie cutter and cut them into funny shapes, fresh cheese cut into little starts, or fun things like that.
When it was time for me to get the boys to make their lunches, they had a blast!
