You should try making him hungry and then offering him fruits, vegetables with roast chicken or rice vegetables with fried egg or something nutritious - you have to be strict and let him get completely hungry until he tries new food - don't be scared if he has not eated 2-3 days - keep it up until he tries good food - I had to do with my nonverbal son
