I'm terrible for trying new foods (I do make myself try when I can) but for now does anyone have any easy, simple recipes for someone who is a fussy eater?

Too broad of a question. What foods do you like?0

My family has the same problem. 3 out of 5 people in my family are very picky eaters. Unfortunately it is a hard question to answer.0

See, it's not that I want recipes specifically tailored to what I like (plus listing food would take forever)
I guess I just want people's ideas for simple recipes that are quite plain? Like they don't have a ton of ingredients. Then there's less to swap out hahatlbailey79 wrote: »My family has the same problem. 3 out of 5 people in my family are very picky eaters. Unfortunately it is a hard question to answer.

PIcky's a little bit general a term to use. In my family, all the kids were picky growing up. The only meat my older sister would eat was shellfish. My younger sister would eat any meat except shellfish. I would not eat meat. I would eat all types of non-starchy vegetables, but not potatoes or corn or peas. My younger sister would eat only potatoes, corn or peas for vegetables. She would also eat spaghetti sauce or salsa, but no other tomatoes. I liked pasta, but not rice. My older sister would eat rice, but not pasta.
So to even guess as to what foods or recipes to recommend, you're going to have to narrow down the definition of picky. I'm still picky - I prefer to eat only grassfed or pastured animal products and produce from farmers I know. But I'll eat pretty much any food at all no matter how strange, except blueberries, as long as I'm satisfied with how it's produced.0 -
Salads are easy and you can add anything to them like
Cheese (Cottage cheese mmm)
Fish (tunas my favourite)
Meat (chicken and bacon to die for)
Eggs (one of my regulars)
whack loads of salad in 2 slices of low calorie bread (Thicker you can make it the more satisfying it is)
Or layer it on chrispbreads (19 calories each)
Experiment with different things

Yeah I guess you're right! Well here goes nothing;
I eat most meats except lamb and absolutely hate all fish/seafood! I too, don't like tomatoes but can eat tomato based sauces. I like most veggies you would put with a roast dinner, but picky when it comes to salad vegetables (only really like lettuce/cucumber). Extra picky with fruit, I only like bananas, apples and pineapple. But I'm working on that by putting different fruits into smoothies- I like strawberries and raspberries this way! I don't really like nuts.
Probably missed a ton but at least its a base to work from :L

Good idea I need to learn not to overload the potato 
It's funny how I always forget really basic meals when I'm looking at calories :')0 -
Lol me too I'm just learning to lower calories and potatoes are a killer iv stopped mashing (as theses are my favourites) and started using boiled potatoes or new potatoes as they fill you more

Yeah, I agree fussy is WAY to broad. Do you have texture issues, spice issues, context issues.
Examples: Do you not like mushy foods like stuffing or gelatin? Do you not like hot spices or garlic? or Do you not like meat when it's on the bone or whole fish with eyes?
I understand not liking certain foods, but why? That will help you carve out a create menu.

If you look a few posts above I did explain a little more :') I guess texture is a big one, not keen on stuff thats squishy. Hot spices/garlic are fine 0 -
