What did your kid eat yesterday??

[Twinkie]

After the crisp debate I wondered what you healthy type guys make your kids eat in a day (just being nosey really!!)

DD is 4 next week and her diet yesterday was:

2 slices of wholemeal toast with strawberry jam
1 bag of grapes
1 bag of chocolate buttons (from party bag)
1 buttered scone
2 sticks of celery
I stick of Pex Sweets
4 pieces of low fat garlic bread
1 large bowl of pasta with meat and tomato sauce
1 large bowl of strawberries with plain bio yogurt
2 small bottles of water and 2 of squash and a carton of milk at school

martha does he copy his mums " glass of wine" cry from the bath?

Ds1's friend at school has a diet similar to that boy in the link of marialuisa's. He doesn't eat any vegetables at all - unless you count smiley faces. He won't even eat chips. The only meat he will eat is sausages and chicken nuggets. He will eat cheese and tomato pizza. He has breakfast cereal. No fruit at all. Drinks fizzy drinks all the time.

His Mum was laughing about it one morning and said to me in the playground that he had eaten seven sausages, four doughnuts and a whole box (that's eight!) Fab lollies for his evening meal the previous night. She seems unperturbed - in fact, she gives him sausages most nights now, no attempt at giving him vegetables at all.

The annoying thing is that he sems far healthier than my son, who seems to get every bug going - he's off school as I type with an ear infection. Dread to think of his health and eating habits later in life though.

No-one ever brings me a glass of wine in the bath

marthamoo, all my dd shouts for during her meals is 'noddy!!' I made the mistake of once playing a noddy dvd to her to encourage her to stay in the high chair and eat. Big mistake.

my DS2 doesn't eat v healthily but then again he's not 4 yet. Today he's had milk, cereal, jam and bread, kitkat and ribena in a cafe, rice cake with peanut butter, apple, orange juice and 4 ring donuts but he's healthy enough and DS1 went through this stage and now eats a very varied diet. He's having pizza for tea.

PML Coddy, you are funny

Big glass of milk
1 piece of toast amd butter
1 sausage roll and little diet coke !!!!(out in town)
half an apple
corn on the cob and half a sausage
bread and butter
yoghurt
two peices of strong cheddar
2 glasses apple juice
1 glass of water

You all put me to shame. DD 3, is VERY picky!

dd asked for champagne and biscuits for dinner last night.....

excellent taste

Well, I guessed wrong. Ds2 shouted "staw-bies!staw-bies! staw-bies!" all through dinner

BUT, he ate a fair bit of grilled chicken and all his potatoes (and some of mine). I did an Ainsley Harriot thing with new potatoes - cook til tender, mix 1 tbsp. each of whole grain mustard, soy sauce and honey, toss potatoes in that, thread on a skewer and grill for a few minutes, turning over once. Absolutely delicious and he scoffed the lot.

Ds2 finished with an apple, a satsuma and about half a pound of grapes! Fruit allergic ds1 had nothing as we have run out of ice-cream (bad Mummy)

you skewered potatoes?!

I did! They were yummy! Are you stalking me?

yes but now are going out.

think the glass of wine policy need s reviewing at your cow shed.

Hmmm my ds is 16 months and yesterday ate:
breakfast: cheerios and milk, apple juice
mid-morning: two fig rolls, some of my scone (we were in a cafe), orange juice
lunch: smoked mackerel and cream cheese on whole grain bread, some sliced cheddar, grapes, water
afternoon: apple (I ate the skin, he ate the rest!)
tea: carrots, spuds, chicken, bread, more cheddar, some naan bread (we were having curry!)
bedtime snack: banana, two baby yogurts
He has the best appetite, I am so lucky

what would we all do without pasta and yogurt eh? (apart from fairyfly, obviously)

I can't believe how much some of your kids eat!
I used to think ds was a good eater till I read this.Well here goes but in my defence we have just come back from holiday where it was too hot for him and he lost his appetite.
breakfast-1piece of toast+butter,cup of tea
mid morn- wholemilk yoghurt,applejuice, 2 malted milk biscuits and banana.
lunch- 1/2 cheese sandwich a few crisp and 1/2 cream cake(my dads)large fresh apple juice.
mid afternoon- 1 satsuma
dinner- 4 chicken dippers, 3 chips and mushy peas, with tom ketchup,cranberry juice.
sweets- 3 liqourice allsorts and 1 squashed chewit he found in his coat pocket.he also has a bottle of milk in the morning and before bed.
by the way he is 2.5 years.

tomato soup and two plates full of french breach to dip and slop about. clean plates all round

bead - not breach

Did you see the 15 year old in the paper who lives on jam sarnies? He eats cereal too though and drinks milk. But he has to have supplements. He's 6 foot 1 so he's growing ok? Just wonder what he'll be like in a few years?

Ds (3)
Breakfast - bowl of rice krispies and raisins, half a piece of toast and marmite
Lunch - Cheese sandwich (cut into quarters, ate 1 quarter, i.e. 1/2 piece of bread), 2 dried apricots, fromage frais
Tea - Pasta, peas and cheese - ate about 10 pieces of pasta, and all the peas.
snacks - 3 bites fruit cake
drinks - orange juice diluted with water.

He is very thin! This isn't what I offered him incidentally - just what he ate of what he was offered. He is given more food than this!

Oh, and large beaker of milk at bedtime

message withdrawn

Ds is just 7 -
he ate: shredded wheat and oat krunchies,no milk
water to drink
toasted wholemeal roll & honey
1 vitamin tablet and 1 folic acid tablet
Then school lunch - he can never remember (or be bothered to tell me) what he ate, though I know he always has red peppers(raw) and beetroot whatever the meal is
then
spaghetti with pesto
more raw pepper
small tin of fruit salad in fruit juice
and some apple
apple juice
then off to Beavers where they always have some nasty chewy sweeties.
He normally eats pretty healthily and loves all sorts of odd things like olives,capers,sushi,adores fish,especially mussells and squid and smoked mackerel but won't eat anything with milk,cheese or yogurt(unless cunningly disguised)

DD (2 and stroppy madam at the moment)

wake up milk
1 slice wholemeal eggy bread and marmite
diluted apple juice
grapes and baby bel
shared thomas the tank fromage frais with dog
1 rich tea biscuit
half a banana
1 satsuma
2 teeny pieces of chicken from mamas lovingly prepared chicken casserole with 2 spoonfuls of rice - said casserole thrown in bin in frustration
2 more baby bels (sigh...)
pasta, chicken thigh, ham and peas at Grandmas, apple juice
bourbon biscuit
half an apple
bed time milk

thank goodness she loves fruit!

I have a huge battle trying to get ds2 to have anything other than a ham sandwich at lunchtime. Boiled egg was a big step for him to make the other day

half piece of brown toast
4 dry shreddies
half jar of babyfood slop
4 grapes
2 mini sausages
lots of juice

She is ill at the mo, bless , normally isn't tooooo bad.
