For meal planning I do Once a Month Cooking (http://christianmomma.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/extreme-meal-planning/). It works wonders and I have so much more time on my hands after the 2 days that I spend cooking. This gets rid of the I don't have time to cook so lets get fast food thing.
As far as picky eating goes, Christopher is the same way and I just don't cater to it. I make dinner and there's usually at least one thing on the plate that I know for sure he'll eat. If he chooses not to eat then that's it until breakfast. There are some nights where he won't eat and other's where he cleans his plate. You control what goes on the plate and they control what goes in their mouths. When kids get hungry enough they will sit down and eat.
