My daughter is an extremely picky eater and pretty much only wants junk food. I am open to her eating "dinner" foods for breakfast and vice versa, but that limits what she considers to be feasible to donuts and pizza.

" as a teenager she is testing her limits. you are the parent. don't put junk food in the house. load up on fruits and veggies and healthy snacks. when she gets hungry she will eat unless she has an eating disorder then seek counseling for her. if she isnt given other options she will adjust "

" Although I have considered the possibility that she is testing limits, I havent ever imagined that she has an eating disorder. I will do some research on that and see if I can track identifiable signs and act accordingly.
Thanks "
