Lauren (17months) will have porridge, or toast with marmite or peanut butter for breakfast. Snacks over the day are usually some fruit (she eats a lot of fruit), some crackers and cheese, maybe a couple of plain biscuits, and a yogurt. Lunch she'll usually have whatever I'm having, so soup with toast, scrambled eggs, sandwiches and some fruit. Dinner again, she just eats whatever we're eating. She's pretty flexible and happy to eat things if someone else is eating them too, doesn't eat a lot of veges just yet but makes up for that with her fruit for now. ------------- ~Cassie~

My 17month old is a pretty good eater, this is a pretty typical day:
Breakfast - 1 weetbix with fruit and milk, then I give her a piece of toast, might eat half of it. Morning tea - biscuit or crakers and cheese or piece of fruit (depends if we are at home or out and about) Lunch - pottle of yoghurt, a piece of bread or muffin etc, piece of fruit (somedays will eat of of this other days not so much) Afternoon tea - rice wafer and cream cheese, or cracker and cheese, or a piece of fruit. Dinner - whatever we are having, but would generally be a bread and butter size plate full of meat, carbs and vegies or a pudding bowl full if I make a one pan meal type thing and usually all of it would be eaten, might have some fruit as well. Sophia loves her dinner and gets grumpy if it is not ready right on 6!! Hope that helps. All kids have different appetites and know if they are hungry. If sophia is refusing something she would generally be happy to eat I figure she is not hungry and try not to offer alternatives as she is quite cunning and would work out how to get the good stuff all the time!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Dakota just 19 months old.. So many of our friends laugh cause she is a super duper eater.. We've nicknamed her Gannet.. hahaha..
Breakfast is usually, 2 weetbix with fruit (tinned) and a piece of toast. Morning tea usually couple of dried apricots or prunes and maybe a cracker. Lunch generally consists of a sandwich with jam, peanut butter or vegemite. A slice of cheese, a yoghurt, a banana, box of raisins and then will generally try to grab bites of whatever I'm eating after her lunch is finished. Afternoon tea is normally just a cracker and a biscuit. Dinner at 5pm is the dinner we ate the night before. If it's something we'd prefer her not to eat like spicy food, she'll have "Takeaways" which is just 1/2 a tin of baked beans or spagetti with toast. I just pray our son doesn't have such a great appetite or our food bill is gonna go through the roof. Hope that helps.. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Like this thread - helpful. DS eats randomly but reading this I think he does ok. Breakfast - 1 weetbix with fruit, some days he bites our toast too, other days he wants his own piece Snacks, banana, cheese slices, plain biscuits, crackers Lunch - he's at daycare 4 days a week which consists of full cooked healthy lunch and a pudding of which apparently he eats the lot. Dinner is between 4.30 - 5 at the mo and can vary between a sandwich, a plate of mash potato, pasta and a sauce, boiled egg, some days he eats loads some days not so much -------------

DS is a pretty good eater on the whole but total nightmare with vegies and red meat, I hide vegies in his meals most nights and we've yet to have much success with red meat.
Breakfast - two weetbix with milk or a bowl of plain shreddies and usually a piece of toast too Snacks - home made muffin or plain biscuit or piklet (Edmonds recipe with a mashed banana and blueberries added is REALLY popular) and half a banana / mandarin / raisins Lunch - any combo of... cheese and ham chunks, hummous, sandwich, ham / cheese toastie, fruit, yogurt, organic cheese puffs, bread sticks, soup, Dinner - pasta spirals with a cheese / vegie sauce, chicken thigh with mash (hidden pea / brocolli puree), home made chicken nuggets and mash, poached eggs on toast, chicken casserole, risotto, fish pie, beef casserole (have to chop his meat teeny tiny small) I always put real vegies on his plate but 99.9% of the time they dont get eaten hence the need to hide the vegies in sauce / mash / soup -------------
