Is this too much food??

[Nightgardenisodd]

Toddler Dd, 3, her dinner today. Very hot where we are, lots of salads etc. We made bread today, so possibly a bit more than normal here, with the bread included.
My mum says I feed her too much food and no wonder she doesn’t eat it all. I don’t expect her to eat it all, but like to give her a varied choice in the hope she chooses parts and eats something, which she does.
Dd is a normal weight etc.
Aibu or is this an okay amount of food for her for dinner?

You've not said what she ate...

Is what a normal amount for her dinner?

[FuckingFlumps]

You've missed out what she's actually eaten?

[Mamamia7962]

You haven't actually said how much she ate or what was on her plate.

Bread and salad? Is there a picture missing of a banquet?!

[phishy]

That looks like a deep fried mouse!

Seriously though, that’s fine.

[Bimblybomeyelash]

It’s fine? I trust my kids to stop eating dinner when they are full up.

[FuckingFlumps]

Looks fine. Plus if she is taught to stop when she is full rather than always clearing the plate that will serve her well in future.

[Mamamia7962]

Looks lovely, I'd eat that.

[Clarkey86]

Looks fine to me, if it was all beige maybe not but it’s super healthy!

I’m jealous that she’ll eat that lovely varied plate of food, my 4 year old is currently refusing to eat her (perfectly average pasta) dinner.

Kids should eat until they are full. Some kids live on air. Some kids eat pounds of food. As long as they are heathy and happy, it doesn’t matter

[EverybodyIsInteresting]

It looks fine. Balanced, healthy and she can leave what she's doesn't want.

Sorry, x-posted!

Looks fine. It’s good for toddlers to give them options and let them choose what to eat. They do need a lot of food to grow too, over 1000 calories certainly.

Its about the same as what my 2 year old would eat so I would say it needs a little bit more for a 3 year old.

What is the pale thing with what looks like squirt cream on?

[AlmostSummer21]

It looks fine as long as your happy for her to leave the rest when she's had enough.

Your mum just doesn't like the waste, which I understand too

[Mumdiva99]

Did she ear.it all? If so not too much food. If she played with it and you threw 50% away then yes too much.

[Bluntness100]

Is that just bread salad and a bit of cheese?

[WaltzingTilda]

I personally wouldn't give a full egg AND cheese(if that is what it is) in the same meal to my toddler but that's just me. It would be a bit heavy for my dd, 3, but each to their own.

I think it’s a slice of cheese with something on it.

[TheGumption]

It's literally a perfect meal. As long as you let her stop when she's full it's not a problem at all.
