Picky eaters

yup, hate to admit, but i don't like mustard, mayo, ketchup, veggies, italian and seafood. on the bright side i can eat the same thing over and over again without getting tired of it, so eating chicken breast every single day is awesome for my diet.

I'm a picky eater... Basically carnivorous. There are some fruits I like, too... but getting the right balance of food is pretty tough for me.

I'm not too picky, but I find it hard to eat out with my friends while they order everything on the left side of the menu and I gotta be careful. My little brother is one of those semi-picky eaters you only read about! I swear he existed on lucky charms, maple brown sugar cream of wheat, and soda for like ages.

My husband is only picky in that he doesn't like it when he expects to eat one thing and is presented with something else. doesn't matter what it is, if he didn't expect it, he doesn't like it - like spaghetti considered, tuna casserole delivered = no good.

Very picky , dont eat alot of veggies ( cauli, peas , carrots, brocolli ) , dont eat fruit or salad.

Basically my diet consist of Chicken breasts and the few veggies every day and oatmeal.

Im trying to change and going to try and eat salad , one thing I will never eat is tomatoes. Salads to me just taste like your eating grass and dirt

I'm a combo plate, allergies, medical limitations and pickiness
Allergies: seafood
Doctor's recs no dairy, gluten, chocolate, refined sugars or soy
Picky foods: cooked carrots, mustard, ketchup, meat and poultry

So I eat a vegetarian/semi vegan diet. It means being very creative

The only thing I can advise is try out fresh whole produce. Research ways to cook it and keep trying it little by little. Many of us grew up with parent's trying to force us to clear our plates and that included our veggies which were usually cooked to death and/or canned. Those can be gross and disgusting. Try fresh try different prep methods and you may find a way you like them.

Also there are things like smoking, or all the sugar and high fructose corn syrup that can screw up your taste buds big time. Those are two I can think of that picky eaters may find blocking them. Maybe not though.

Me I've always loved veggies but I loved those other bad things too, obviously or I'd probably not have a reason to be here. hahaha I like them veggies a lot more now that I learned to prepare them differently than cooking the canned ones to death or whatnot.

yes!! I don't like any vegetable besides corn if that even counts. I also don't eat sea food, or red meat, as well as most types of chicken and turkey. not because I'm a vegetarian, I just don't like them.. I don't like flavors mixed together, I like very plain food. I pretty much have pizza for dinner every day , cause that's all I like. soo annoying sometimes

I'm a horrible picky eater! i refuse to eat vegetables, or try any new foods (unless someone is really talented). i hate meat. i hate any foreign foods (mexican, thai, indian, asian, etc etc) except italian. i hate seafood. i only like a few fruits. strawberry, watermelon, kiwi, bananas. mostly, i love junk food. and i get sick of foods easily. this is exactly why i refuse to eat ramen noodles. i grew up poor and it was all i had to eat lol. ugh.. so much more lol.

I'm an extremely picky eater, since i was a kid, it's followed me till this day (29 years old). Since, i didn't see anyone mention this, i will. I came across a story about picky eating and how it could be a disorder, it's still fairly new and being researched but it's being called Selective Eating Disorder, where adults only like foods they ate as a kid a.k.a fast food, junk, preservative filled food, they avoid whole food groups like vegetable, fruit and even alcohol, although, some people have certain things in that group they will eat. Like me, i do not eat vegetables unless corn and potatoes count as vegetables, if so, those are the only ones, but i eat some fruits but not all, just apples, bananas and green grapes, however, i do like tripple berry smoothies but that's cuz it's liquefied, if u gave me just a blueberry, i would not eat it. That's because your senses play a part in it, meaning if it looks bad or smells bad, you just won't eat it!! Where most people can eat anything and just avoid a few foods, people with SED, avoid mostly everything and the amount of things they will eat is small, i could prolly count on two hands, the things i will eat (i'm talking actual meals, not snacks, but of course the snacks are junk). People with SED, prefer bland/plain foods also. Even the alcohol, with me is rare, only times i really drink is when i'm out for my birthday, new years, basically occasions and the drinks i prefer are Smirnoff Ice and Mikes Hard Lemonade, which are both clear drinks and don't taste like alcohol, they taste sugary and sweet to me!!

I always thought i was just a picky eater but after coming across this, i believe i may have this disorder, i even read it to my mom and she agrees that this could be my problem. So for my fellow picky eaters, if this sounds like you to, try googling Selective Eating Disorder and read it for yourself, but unfortunately, there's not that much on it yet!!

Yes, that would be me... I have an eating disorder called Selective Eating Disorder. I hate it... but I have been like this all my life. Very few fruits and veggies and no meat. I know there are going to be many people out there who will have something to say... It is a very difficult thing to live with. Good luck to you all!! ~patty
