Fussy food eater

I need help with my eating habits - im a 23 year old autistic woman and its always been a struggle managing my diet because I physicslly cannot stand the texture or taste or idea of most foods, I intake nothing healthy, no veg, fruit, salad, I intake no fiber foods, dont do canned food, ready meals, nothing with sauces, my food is very much so plain, bland, 

I rely on mostly pasta, meat, certain frozen foods like popcorn chicken etc and for the most part that is it, its been like this since I was very little and I just seem to get fussier and fussier, I have to become healthy and lose weight but I dont know how I can manage with what my diet is like 

I need help changing this but I dont know how to do it without torturing myself

  • Hi there. I’m 25 and I have this issue myself. I tend to eat more foods that are crunchy, I can’t stand anything soft or soggy etc. I mainly eat chicken though I occasionally have mini sausages, gammon and steak. I also don’t have sauces or dips etc. I also have pizza with no cheese (everyone says that’s not a pizza I have). 

    Im not medically qualified here so you may want to talk to your GP  but if this helps I do take multi vitamins. With the weight loss I also exercise (I mainly do ring fit). 

    I wish you the best
