Answer:

My son is also extremely picky bread and butter sandwich bagel spread with cream cheese breakfast cereal put into a bowl with a lid; send a thermos w/ milk and let him eat a bowl of cereal for his lunch pancakes or waffles-cut into bite size pieces or strips warm in the morning and wrap in aluminum foil and send a small bowl of syrup for dipping flour tortilla spread with peanut butter and some honeyroll up and slice into pinwheels hard boiled eggs scrambed eggs (put into a warmed thermos and they'll stay somewhat warm till lunch) left over pizza macaroni w/ butter and a dab of salt leftover spahetti spaghetti'o'ssoup put in a warmed thermos chicken nuggets (purchase the breaded ones and bake) or make your own warm in the morning and pack in a bowl lined with aluminum foil to keep them somewhat crispy and warm send some leftover fast food catsup packets cheese cubes canadian bacon slices turkey or ham cubes granola bars, cereal bars let the bar the sandwich of the meal nothing wrong with that! rice cakes, popcorn, pretzels, triscuit crackers, wheat thins fresh fruit is always good I occasionally send some canned fruit, though it's always good if you can peel the food yourself because they don't have a lot of time to peel an orange and eating it whole generally does not work well at school for apples, quickly run them through some apple juice or sprite to keep them from browning.
yes except fo the deep frying part it is all fatty grease
