To ask if you think 6 fish fingers is too many for a 3 year old boy to have for dinner?

[BasinHaircut]

along with half a 400g run of baked beans and chips.

Need to settle an arguement.

Cheers

Yes my 7yo has 3 fish fingers, about 10-15 chips and 1/3 of tin of beans.

Way too much for a 3yo. I wouldn't even eat 6 fish fingers as an adult! My 5yo can manage 2.

My ds (on the slim side of average) could have eaten that much at times, other times he'd have a few mouthfuls. I think if it's a regular thing it's a lot but as part of a random hungry day it's not something I'd worry about.

That would be the maximum salt allowance for a day.

Sounds like an awful lot. I'd have 4 for me and 1-2 for a 2 year old.

My 16 and 14 year old huge boys the size of adults ate 5 fish fingers for tea tonight with chips and peas. I would say 6 is a lot for a 3 year old.

Yes. I'd even say 2 plus chips and beans is quite a big dinner for a 3 year old.

My 2.5 year old has one and my 8 year old boy has 3!

Yes!
My 6&3 year olds have 3 and my 2 year old struggles to finish 2!

if the meal is only fish fingers and nothing else 6 of them sounds about right.

Far too much.

Too much. Im a porker and wouldnt eat 6!

I would make a 3 year old 2 maybe 3.

Yes far too many

PinkSwimGoggles the OP says with baked beans and chips.

Yes that's too much. My almost 9 year old with a big appetite would eat 3 fish fingers. My 6 and 2 year olds eat 2 fish fingers. 6 is ridiculous. I don't think even dh would eat 6!

Far too much imo. Even a McDonald's Happy Meal or kids meal in a pub is usually only 3 and they are for up to age 10 or so.

Forgot to reply to the question. Yes, I agree it's far too much.

My 4 year old would eat 3 fish fingers, 2 tablespoons of beans and one tablespoons worth of chips. To be honest we wouldn't have chips so it would just be fingers and beans.

I think 6 is way too many.

Sounds like a lot to me. And I'm no extremist WRT nutrition, but it doesn't sound a very healthy meal even if the quantities were smaller.

Blimey. I only give my 14 year old rugby playing son 4 fish fingers.

No baked beans either - 2 fresh veg and home made potato wedges.

Um, yes!! I just ate 6 fish fingers, 200g tin of baked beans and some sweetcorn and I'm pretty full. I'm a bit of a fatty too!

I couldn't eat that. Much too much.

It's not, Dot but it's fairly standard kiddie freezer food and no worse than some.

Six is far too many though, OP.

I think two is standard, maybe three if your (general your, not personally your) kid is liable to get peckish.

It sounds like he isn't your child or if he's getting that somewhere else though.

Personally I think those boil in the bag servings of cod are nicer and more filling. Served with a jacket, and either sweet corn or peas or both. It's just as easy as fish fingers and much more filling and tasty I think :)

Yes! I'd say a couple? 6 is a man sized portion.
