My DS is like that too. Some days all he's eaten has come out of a packet
All we can think to do is make the stuff he does eat the best choice we can make. We don't have any bad foods (crisps, high sugar foods, etc) and the tomato sauce is the lowest in sugar and salt and has all natural ingredients (Beerenberg) and he has the Wiggles Rice chips things (with Dorothy on the packet), he'll eat cheese, ham, cruskits with peanut butter or vegemite or occasionally honey, yoghurt, pasta, rice, bread, weetbix, corn flakes, biscuits and crackers. He also loves the Rafferty's Garden apple bars - will eat 3 in a sitting When we get take-away, the things he eats most of is chips (what kid doesn't??), pizza or rice meals (like noodle box, fried rice, etc).
He does not eat ANY fruit (he will occasionally ask me to bit into an apple and then he'll lick it) unless it's in a jar (like processed pears or apple) and no raw veggies at all and he will only eat the veggies hidden in curries (his favourite!) or pasta sauces.
He often refuses to eat something he couldn't get enough of the day before - so we find it super frustrating too. My DH (who is a SAHD) doesn't eat anything raw either (fruit or veggies) so the 'modelling' behaviour is a problem... I try to show him, but it doesn't have much effect
We've decided not to get too worked up about all this as we reckon he'll come around in his own time (hopefully!). He's got some basics right, so I'm sure we'll get there! Chin up people - we were probably all like this for our parents too - and they didn't have BellyBelly!
