Explanation

FASTIDIOUS means very attentive to detail, meticulous, and easily disgusted by things considered imperfect. 'Squeamish' captures the sense of being easily disgusted, which is one aspect of fastidiousness. 'Speedy' means fast, 'Precise' is close but refers to accuracy rather than the finicky nature, and 'Hungry' means needing food - none fully capture the particular sense.
