Portion sizes

Hi

My DD is 4 and quite a good eater. She will generally have what we have e.g. spag bol, risotto, roast dinner but I struggle with portion size. I never know how much to give her! She will never ask for more even if she finishes everything on her plate and sometimes I have to cajole her into finishing. She always has pudding and then I offer her fruit if she is still hungry. However I would rather she ate more of her evening meal than eating fruit after her pudding.

How do you measure out portions? She has just started school and has a hot meal every day. Sometimes she only wants sandwiches for tea which is fine. I don't want to force her to eat too much but don't know how much other 4 year olds eat!
