DS has medical problems connected to food/absorption and I’m not sure if my portion control is completely out of step. Hospital dietician is not especially helpful. I’m trying to work out a healthy and appropriate diet for him (in the literal sense, I’m not putting him “on a diet”!).

DS is overweight by BMI, you can see his ribs but he’s definitely not gaunt. His breakfast at 7ish today was a peanut butter sandwich, some melon, small bag of popcorn and a yogurt. He’s just (10.00) had an apple as a snack because he said he was hungry. This is pretty typical. He will be having lunch, tea, and a snack after swimming (probably a biscuit or cracker). He eats a good variety of fruit.

yabu: that’s way too much for breakfast
yanbu: sounds ok

That sounds like quite a lot of food at 7am but then as your son has special dietary requirements, what's normal won't apply and no one here can really help
