What did your DC eat yesterday?

Just wanted to see if mine are eating the right amount/right things, and looking for some ideas really. DC2 is 18mo and doesn't seem to eat much fruit, veg or meat at the moment, it's offered but he won't eat it.

So yesterday mine (DC1 is 4yo DC2 is 1yo)ate:

Breakfast: Full bowl of Honey Cheerios with whole milk, DC1 had a banana, DC2 a slice of soya and linseed toast with butter both had fresh orange juice (DC2 diluted)

Snack: Juice and 2 Plum Baby Oat Rounds for DC2, Hobnob for DC1.

Lunch: Pitta Pizza (round wholemeal pitta filled with tomato pizza sauce, cheese and herbs), Petit Filous yogurt, half a homemade blueberry muffin each. Juice to drink

Dinner: Half a chicken breast in tomato/mascapone/basil sauce with roast potatos (DC2 left most of the chicken), Petit Filous and a Hobnob. Juice to drink.

Also, having written it all down I've realised they eat the about the same amount, but DC1 is 3 years older than DC2, is that normal??

Charges are little older/younger but they ate

breakfast
Charge 1 (9) 2 apple and cinnamon bagels with butter
Charge 2 (7) 1 plain bagel with honey, 1 slice wholemeal toast
Charge 3 (15m) 2 adult sized bowls museli, 1 whole banana

Lunch
All had pancakes and fruit

Dinner
Charges 1&2- chicken goujons, homemade wedges and beans

Charge 3- 2 adult sized servings tuna and veg pasta bake

8yo eats tons of fruit and veg, pretty much anything put infront of her but prefers the "bad" stuff

10y- pita fussy eats hardly anything somedays (Normally a bagel or 3!) other days he eats about the same as 8yo

15m- eats huge amounts, has dys where she wont eat anything at all, but when she does eat its loads!

I really wouldn't worry too much if they are growing and active - too much fruit and veg just fills them up and leaves less room for the energy dense stuff to support their growth. As long as they get a bit for variety and vitamins and to keep them in good habits, it's ok I think.
My girls are 5 and 3 and have pretty average to good appetites!

DD1:
Bowl of shreddies and milk, half a banana
Slice of toast and peanut butter
Cream cheese and ham wrap with lettuce, a few crisps, some cherry tomatoes (about 3), an activia yoghurt.
A homemade cookie, milk
Egg fried veggie rice - adult portion
A few grapes

DD2:
Small bowl of shreddies with milk, half a banana
Slice of toast and marmite
Cream cheese and ham wrap with lettuce (ate half) some crisps, a petit filous
Cookie and milk
Cereal bowl of egg fried rice
Milk
