Hi,
Sure, but before recommend anything many vital details need to know, like food habits, daily routine etc. Children are getting bore very easily, so if you offer same kind food, it will be monotonous for him. Try to prepare meals in such a way that it looks colourful but at the same time nutritious. Don't repeat menu more than twice in week and it shouldn't be consecutive days. As you have mentioned he doesn't have allergy so he can have all kind of food, ex: veg stuff omelette, high protein milk, pis - pas etc.
