8.30 - Banana
9.00 - Large bowl of cereal (more then you'd get in a multipack box)
10.30 - School fruit bar and stick of cheese
12.00 - cheese roll, half pack of goodies crisps, 4 slices of cucumber, apple
In between all this she is constantly coming to me saying that she is hungry and just now, an hour after lunch she has again come and said, "I'm hungry, mummy"
She will have a snack of a gingerbread man or similar and some more fruit or carrot sticks, etc at about 3 and an evening meal about 5.30-6pm typically of chicken/veg/potatoes followed by small bowl of ice cream. She wolfs down EVERY meal and nearly always clears her plate.
Am I not feeding her enough? She's not skinny by any means and she goes through phases of looking a bit podgy before having a bit of a growth spurt. She goes swimming 2-3 times a week and bike ride once a week.
What does everyone else's 4.5 yo eat in a day?
