how much does your toddler eat and when

[beckoes]

I eat a fair amount and get very grumpy if im hungry and DD is the same, i ALWAYS have something in my bag for her, nuts, fruits, dry fruit, biscuits etc. And i ask her quite often if she is hungry. I belive because i let her decided if and when and how much she wants to eat she doesnt eat just for the sake of it or over eat.

Her normal day is...
up at 5.30am/6am-bowl of cereal, normally a wheetbix or muslie
8am-eggs on toast or beans, or toast and jam/pb, fruit pancakes
10am-fruit/nuts/cheese and biscuits
11.30am-lunch...what ever that is....noodles,veg,meat etc
2.30pm-small piece of fruit, home made icepole
4pm-snack, humous or cheese and biscuits, fruit etc
5.30pm-dinner and pudding....whatever we have and decent size potions (last night she put away two lamb chops, a baked potato, salad, corn on the cob, a mango and a yoghurt with passion fruit! and then had a milk about an hour later casue she was still hungry!)

sometimes there is other stuff thrown in, DH will sneak in a little cup cake or icecream and if we are eating at a time when she isnt she has to get in on the action! and she drinks milk between all this and still have two BFs!

I recon she is still growing and needs all the energy she can get, some days its less and sometimes she actually eats MORE! aslong as she isnt eating casue she is bored then i think its ok to let her eat whenever she likes. and aslong as she is eating proper meals...lunch dinner etc and not just filling up at snack times.
