The first thing you will need to determine is is Oscar is being finicky or if he is sick. Here is a link about finicky eating: https://www.petcoach.co/article/my-pet-is-a-finicky-eater/ Most puppies eat well so there is a concern that he is actually not feeling well. If there is a cause for concern for illness. If this is behavioral, my advice is to pick a high quality food and stick with it. The two brands that seem to be most palatable are Royal Canin and Purina ProPlan. Also, as long as your pet is healthy, its ok if he skips a meal. Dogs are smart and they often train humans to give them something else. Have him examined if illness or a medical cause is suspected. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
