Sandwich for 11 year old girl

[GoldenMirror]

How many slices of bread would you use/would they eat?

2, like the adults in our house have.

Erm, two.
Is this a trick question?

2? Like a normal , you know, sandwich.

Mine has 4

Hard to make a sandwich without 2 slices of bread.

For lunch 2 slices. Did someone give her 1 slice?

I just wanted to check I’m not weird, as I'm a bit concerned.

(I’d provide two)

At least 2 unless it's a club sandwich!

2, why?

I'd provide 2 as well. Same with weetabix. However, DS 11 went to a friend's for a sleepover and was only given 1 weetabix for breakfast. His friend is from a lovely family and is well looked after, so it can sometimes just be down to a difference in appetite as to what other people expect kids to eat.

@Dacadactyl i guess that what I was wondering about, different lives.

Why are you asking.

2 is average I guess

4 is a lot

1 is fine but would be hungry soon

I’d do two but offer more if finished. DS2 (7) has just had a Nutella sandwich for breakfast (yes, I know) followed by a slice of bread and butter because he was still hungry. He’s not overweight so I let him crack on.

Two with another round if hungry.

My DD would have 2, which I'm sure is the norm for most people aged 3+ but her best friend was much smaller and preferred to have only one.

Two as a rule of thumb but one of my dc only has 1 slice and has other things alongside the sandwich.

Two. all through primary and secondary it was two.

Was that all the food there was? I would provide two normally but one if there was other food too.

I’d just ask them.

At 11 my youngest would eat one sandwich (2 slices of bread) but her siblings would want two. Different appetites. Different levels
of energy expended on sports.

Well 2.
Although she may well only eat half, or ask for more!

Majority of the time 2 slices, but sometimes my oldest boy will have another slice folded over into a sandwich aswell. So 3 max really

Depends on the child and how hungry they are, and what they are doing!

You should se how much food Scouts can put away on Scout camp... but according to my Fitbit which I don't totally believe... I burnt over 5000 calories a day on camp!

Wouldn't it depend on what else she's eating that day, what she has with a sandwich, what she's doing etc.

If she has a decent breakfast, has something with the sandwich, isn't being particularly active, has snacks and isn't having to wait until too late in the evening for dinner, then it's probably fine.

However, if she had a crappy cereal breakfast, is spending the day hill walking or it's her main meal of the day, then probably not. She may also be quite hungry due to growing/puberty.

Isn't the point that she has what's probably right for her? Although a lot of the time, sandwiches as food aren't particularly great options, depending on what type of bread and filling it contains (I know MN sandwiches are made from home made wholegrain seedy bread and filled with chicken salad, but the reality for a lot of people is more of the processed white bread filled with ham variety).

Two. But I'd be giving her a salad too.
