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

musica I think my ds1 (2 and a half) eats about the same as yours, for some reason I tend to think of him as a good eater (he eats a lot of variety and doesn't make a fuss about food) but actually he doesn't eat big amounts (about the same as ds2 who is 6.5 months!). He's a skinny shrimp too.
Yesterday he ate:
weetabix with peach and dried apricot - about half
rice cake with cream cheese
biscuit and juice at playgroup
tuna sandwich and nut butter sandwich - about one slice bread equivalent
half cup milk
ice cream (didn't finish it)
one fish finger, handful of peas, one large potato
milk

I've just looked through the thread and a few 2-3 yr old lists that look pretty fine to me (reasonable quantities, reasonable variety) introduced with 'my ds/dd is a rubbish/picky eater' etc etc. As I said, my ds doesn't seem to eat a lot compared with most but I would never even think to describe him as a bad eater - perhaps we're expecting too much?

I know what you mean elliott - in a way, I'm not so bothered about quantity as the variety - don't want to hijack the thread, but what ds was listed as eating is pretty much his entire diet. He will sometimes eat a bite of sausage, but no other meat or fish. Won't eat egg, only fruit/veg will eat is peas and apple (and that occasionally). Won't even eat potato - will sometimes eat chips, and sometimes eat potato waffle, but definitely no to any other kinds. Has just gone off baked beans, so that's off the menu. Makes for a fairly limited diet really!

Musica your ds sounds like mine. Mine is 2yrs 3 months and some days he barely aets a thing.

To update, DD (2y 2m) yesterday had:

Yoghurt
Toast (at nursery)
Ham casserole (home made at nursery)
Rice Pudding (home made at nursery)
1.5 slices of cheese on toast (at nursery)
Apples and banana pieces (at nursery)
Some of our veggie pasta bake
2 pieces of garlic bread
Yoghurt, again
1 organic biscuit
Small bag of white chocolate buttons
P&J Frootie carton
Water
Hot chocolate

So lots of variety again really. I know exactly what DD had at nursery as they write it down for me.

heavens knows what she will have today as she is going to a WI tea party this afternoon with MIL - homemade buns and cakes I expect. Hope she saves me one

yesterday they had
milk again
weetabix
grapes
milk
cheese sandwiches, french fries, chocolate raisons, a kit kat, 2 yogurts
milk
ritz biscuits
milk
southern fried chicken, chips and coleslaw
2 yogurts
milk

all non organic

still lol at hulas 1.5 slices - you can tell she is in IT :0

dont you hate it when your kid has garlic bread ad their breath smells?

Just to prove to Coddy that i'm not some kind of nutrition freak here's yesterday's list:

bowl of raisin wheats(dry) and banana smoothie

water and pear

shepherd's pie and green beans
ice-cream and pineapple slices
water

water and peach

milky way
Sainsbury's BPC Spag bol
iced ring doughnut with hundreds and thousands
orange juice

Weds are swimming days so 2 mins in microwave is ideal! She is starving by the time we get home. Though the way she all but licks the plate after she's eaten the stuff is scary. Obviously has something VERY bad in it.

i'm a cruel mum, DH and i hate the stuff so I won't even make it for her. She's also not allowed crisps because the smell makes me queasy esp quavers, skips etc. I let her try some Walkers S&V when she was 2 and she didn't like them....Has never asked again She also thinks lemonade is medicine 'cos she only ever gets it when she's vomiting and therefore fasting.

codswallop - I hate it when she has had it at nursery or at MILs and we haven't. Shesmells sobad of garlic and it smells the car out. But she loves the stuff!

BTW - how else can I do half 1/2 gets too confusing!!! .5 makes s much more sense

oh me too
ds2 has it

Oh and as DH is playing golf all evening and it's just me and DD we will both have a huge pizza to share, and maybe Hagan Daiz for afters

Pizza will be non-organic, from local take away

Also, what is it with children and dry cereal? Dd makes violent hand movements when I attempt to put milk on her shreddies.

Now why did I say DS is a rubbish eater? I think it is because (1) he refuses to eat veges apart from occasional piece of sweetcorn or broccoli (2) on the day in question, he refused almost all of his tea, he ate only one potato smiley and a tiny piece of sausage. It is the absolute refusal to eat an entire food group combined with the occasional rejection of entire meals that drives me wild! Still, he eats fruit, bread and yoghurt, so I guess there are enough calories and nutrients there to keep him going.

Dunno, even when she was a milk fiend she used to insist on dry cereal.

I think some cereal makes the milk taste sickly. And as DD is such a s-l-o-w eater the cereal's really soggy by the time she gets half way through.
