Do you mean as far as prey foods? If so, crickets is all he needs right now. They should be no larger then the space between his eyes.

Feed him as many crickets as he can eat in 10-15 minutes twice a day as well as mixed greens. The crickets shouldn't be bigger than the space between his eyes.
Other than crickets you could feed him small silkworms, cockroaches (there are several different types, such as hissing, lobster, death's head etc.), butterworms, or hookworms. There are some other insect foods but these should only be fed as treats, not as a stable cricket food, meal worms, super worms, king worms, wax worms.
For greens, the stable greens should be (these can be feed everyday but best to mix two or more of these every day): mustard greens, collard greens, dandelion greens, pak choy, endive or escaroli. Mixed with the stables for variety can be added: parsley, kale (in moderation due to high oxate/phosphate content), zuccini, turnup greens, radish greens, dandelion flowers, hispiscus flowers, mixed frozen vegetables (thawed and chopped). There are others but can't recall them off hand. Somebody here has a full detailed list of good foods to feed your dragon and the frequency.
