Am I feeding 8 month old too many carbs?

He's nearly 9 months and basically eats what we eat. Fresh fruit and veg has been short this last week, as we can't bloody buy any. I'm making do, but I'm worried. This has been the gist of the last week.

Breakfast: Porridge with blueberries, a few strips of marmite toast with white bread

Lunch: Either a cheese and ham sandwich, or bagel (slices of cheese, ham and either bread or toasted bagel separately) two days he also had cucumber sticks before we ran out.

Dinner: He has same as us, so he's had lentil daal, pasta bake, chow mein, cottage pie and the past two nights I've given him an Ellas kitchen fruit pouch to try and get some fruit down him.

I'm just worried as there's a lot of bread/bagel/pasta. I don't have much else to give him right now. There's always veg in his dinners, but the rest of the day is a struggle. Is this awful? He still has 3 bottles of formula a day too.

Sounds great to me! I think that’s a fab diet considering everything that’s going on at the moment.

I do baby led weaning and whatever I offer my daughter it’s pretty much always the carbs she actually eats 🙄 toast, breadsticks, rice cakes, pasta...all eaten fine. Meat, most veg and any kind of actual dinner...mostly thrown on the floor.
