Anyone fancy critiquing a toddlers lunch?

[HalyardHitch]

Just wondering how my boys compare. They're 1y6m and 2y6m. The eldest has coeliacs disease so is gluten and dairy free. For safety reasons the youngest follows the same diet.

One oat cake (gf) with peanut butter
Cheese (vg)
Cucumber
Red pepper
Plain yoghurt (coconut)

Normally they have something like chicken or cooked ham as well but I'm all out.

They'll share a bagel (gf) and an apple after nap.
Breakfast was scrambled egg, mushrooms and toast with marg

Seems a tad light to me? Breakfast was good though!

is it a soy yoghurt?

I think I would be tempted to give more oatcakes but only you can tell if they're full

I think it sounds ok, but only you know your children and you should always view your child's diet over the day not a single meal, as some night snack at lunch but have a really big breakfast and tea.

The recommended amount of oatcake for a toddler between ages 1 and 4 is the quantity of 1 to 2. So you have provided the lower end amount, but they are the lower end of the age range.
Cheese is 5/6 cubes

If they are having 1/2 a bagel as a snack thats the top end if the recommended 1/4 to 1/2 bagel and the same with an apple at 1/4 to half a medium Apple is recommended.
Obviously you can't just go off the textbook amount of food as each child is different but I printed the recommended portion sizes for children just for a bit of guidance really as my son is tiny and worried quite a lot at times.

Would they eat more if you offered it or are they full after it

@Tigger001 where did you find the guidance quantities?
My 16 month old has had
1/4 cheese toasties
1 segment of orange
2 yoghurts (petit filous size)
A couple of mouthfuls of heinz swee potato, parsnip and mango pouch that he clearly wasn't a fan of
He was offered more for lunch but that was all he would take.
He had 2 weetabix with milk for breakfast and a rusk biscuit as a snack this morning

Smurf: Have a look at "Good food choices and portion sizes for 1-4 year olds". Available to download from www.firststepsnutrition.org/eating-well-early-years

There are also guides for snacks, packed lunches and vegan diets on the same page.

Thanks @satsoomar
I really want to make his diet more varied but he won't even try new foods most of the time

It was a print out given to me by the health visitors in which she said was a good "guide". I was worried about my son, she said he was fine and it was just that I'm a dot and petite (4"10) so he's not going to be massive.

It's called Portion sizes for children 1-4 years, toddler fact sheet. It has the following website on it (www.infantandandtoddlerforum.org) I've never visited it. I just go off the sheets, it's about 8 pages and it breaks down into each food category, and then subs of that. Rice, pasta, noodles, bread, all the different fruits, cereals, milk, cheese, yoghurt even biscuits and what a healthy amount is if you give them.

I found it quite reassuring as I thought my son wasn't eating enough, but he really was lol

See if this works

That's great thanks.. According to it im giving far too much dairy - ds would have usually 2 small yoghurts, 2 weetabix with lots of milk, a packet of cheese cubes or mash potato with a cheese triangle mixed in and a 260ml bottle of milk before bed ... On the other hand I can get him to eat virtually nothing from the meat section - he will eat fish fingers(without the breadcrumbs) mixed with mash and peas but other than that he will usually turn away at other meat.
