Eat your veggies; eat real food aka stay away from too much processed food, if soemthing has a million ingredients and half of them are giant chemical sounding words you can't pronounce, you probably shouldn't eat it; eat local organic meat/dairy if you can; try not too eat all the sugar and salt ever!
What kinds of things do you actually like to eat? I would find ways to just make those things healthier in general. Example, if you love to eat pizza, make or buy a whole wheat dough and make your own with healthy toppings/veggies.
I'm not a big carrot fan but I think it's delicious. I double the recipe and we make a meal out of it with some crusty bread. I alter the recipe a bit, personally (add garlic, don't bother with the dill; simply cover the veggies with chicken stock and keep all the broth instead of throwing anything out).

What she said! (As I fill my face with Doritos)
What flavor Doritos? I haven't had them in months and they're my fav. Now I'm dreaming of them.
Green smoothies are a good way to get lots of healthy foods and nutrients in your diet without having to taste them. I make one with ice, milk, kale/chard/spinach, a banana, almonds and whatever fruit is lying around. It tastes like a banana to me, but I'm still getting lots of green veggies in my diet this way.
Granted, I haven't been able to stomach one for at least a week now, but theoretically I should be drinking them.

I will say if you are feeling nauseous, now is the time to eat whatever stays down. If it gets better later, you can try to add some healthier food. I find soups are a good way to add veggies.
The smoothies sound like something I could try. I really don't eat any veggies so any way to add in the health benefits without actually eating them, I will try
Omg thank you for this post! I also eat like a 12 year old... Actually more like 8. Thanks for the tips mentioned. I actually really like the green smoothie drinks from Odwalla. Tastes like juice but has a bunch of veggies I would normally never touch
I'm vegan which in itself probably = picky eater to most people. Look up some vegan recipes if you want really simple meals without a lot of processed ingredients - you can always add meat if you want.
Ditto the others, stay away from processed foods.
I was a nanny for a mom who was a picky eater before her baby was born, but she began trying all the fruits and vegetables she was preparing for her baby and realized that she liked a lot of them! Maybe this will work for you.
Smoothies! Throw spinach in with fruit and you'll get lots of vitamins and nutrients without having to eat veggies plain. Also, snack smart! Almonds, granola, yogurt, cheese, etc...
I grab about a weeks worth of fruits that I wash and cut up all at once and snack on that throughout the day seems to fill my sweets void that I can't quite stomach at the moment. I'm super into fried corn... On everything. Broccoli is better roasted for sure with some salt and garlic even some lemon. Pinterest has been a lifesaver for me (and bagel bites and Cheerios and Burger King.... Mmmm Burger King )
Along with being nauseous, I'm now a picky eater. My 7 year old eats better than me. I tried to cut up veggies with dip...no go. Fruit (my favorite) no go. Hamburgers and fries..,yes please!
