To ask what your 3 yo eats a day?

[SleepingStandingUp]

Yeah I know it varies from kid to kid etc but I have absolutely no perspective on what a "healthy, normal" 3 yo eats.

We're weaning ours off special milk slowly for various medical reasons so he's eating more actual food bit I don't actually know how much he should be eating iyswim

The eat if he's hungry thing doesn't work either so no just feed him til he stops

They’re something new I’ve found. They’re like the little swirls you get on ice cream sometimes.

On average:

2 weetabix or a bowl of Cheerios or wheat things

Ham or cheese sandwich (2 slices)
Raiders
Babybel or yoghurt

Rich tea for a snack

Dinner is harder...she refuses all fruit and most veg and always has done. I put it all on her plate and some nights she will eat one bit and then say she is done. Other nights she will happily eat all her chicken, peas, beans, potato waffle etc but will refuse any other veg. She is very active and I would say a normal size.

She would eat tonnes more if I let her by the way. She would probably munch through loads of biscuits and babybel so I have to restrict things to make sure she eats later on!

Raisins not raiders

I popped in to pinch some ideas but now feel like my just 2 year old is a gannet!

No sympathy here for gannets. Just jealousy 😁😁😂

Ooh those roll thungs look good although I bet they aren't high cal are they??

She's 4 but today dd ate:

Breakfast: banana pancake with choc sauce (usually it's a bowl of cheerios though). Small cup of milk and Apple juice

Lunch: pom bears, cheese string, couple of olives, couple of bites of cheese sandwich, kids yoghurt

Snack: choc biscuit (don't normally have these in though)

Dinner: leek and bacon baked risotto with cucumber pieces. Her favourite dish and ate a big plateful though attempted to pick out the leek. Followed by bedtime milk.

She's a very fussy eater and we struggle to feed her unless it's risotto!

My DD 2 1/2 And she eats:

Either porridge or weetabix with some fruit

Usually some kind of sandwich, vegetable batons and a yogurt

Whatever I'm having for tea just a small portion obvs

If she gets hungry throughout the day, fruit or carrots with hoummus, maybe some of those baby crisps if we are out and about.

Plus milk at bedtime

@sleepingatandingup

Just turned 3, obviously not the same every day but this is generally what she has.

Breakfast: 1 weetabix with milk and some chopped fruit or cheerios or a breakfast bar.
Lunch: sandwich (1 slice of bread) and a small stick of cheese.
Dinner: just some sort of balanced meal with carbs, protein and veg. So chicken/steak/fish with potatoes and veg or maybe pasta with homemade sauce (veg in sauce) or a stir fry. We all eat together. Also have the ikea kids plates and bowls so those type of portions.
Couple of snacks a day: fruit, toast with peanut butter, biscuits, crisps, mini cucumbers etc.

Really interesting reading other people’s lists. DS is nearly 4 and yesterday he ate -

Breakfast - a boiled egg with about half a slice of toast and then a bowl of cheerios

Snack - a banana and a box of raisins at the cinema

Lunch - lentil soup and a slice of bread and some cheese and cucumber and cherry tomatoes

Dinner - fish pie with peas then a cupcake and some plain yoghurt with blackberries

He’s generally a pretty good eater, we’re lucky!
