Tips for Getting Toddler to Eat Dinner

So to backtrack a bit, my toddler will eat dinner (he'll actually eat most of what we give him) but he won't eat the meat or protein (usually beans). He loves spaghetti but will take what little bit of ground beef that is in his bowl and literally throw it on the ground (naturally we are trying to stop this, but it's a work in progress). He likes chicken nuggets too and will eat oven-baked ones, but we've tried giving him shredded chicken covered in a sauce that he's eaten before and liked. That too ended up on the ground. My MIL has tried endlessly to give him beans (both whole and refried) and those are also a 'no'. We are at a loss, he's not malnourished or underweight and he gets enough fruits and veggies amongst other foods, but we'd really like him to get more protein in his diet.any tips for getting him to eat his meats? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3vql062
