In a day, WHAT DOES YOUR 2 YEAR OLD typicaly eat?

Question

from when they get up, until bed time.

Thanks.

Answer 1

My daughter is two and a half, and her eating varies alot day to day. Sometimes she'll be a great eater, and others she's almost fasting. On the average day, though, she'll have something like:

Breakfast - Honey bunches of oats cereal with milk and sometimes half a banana, or just a bowl of fruit with a milk sippy

Morning snack- Graham cracker.

Lunch- Peanut Butter and Jelly or ham and cheese sandwich. I'll offer veggies also but more often than not she'll only peck a them. a sippy cup of juice.

Afternoon snack- a piece of fruit or some trail mix and some water.

Dinner- tortellini or ravioli with chicken nuggets and mixed veggies with butter and garlic powder.  dinner's usually the meal where she eats the least amount, but she'll eat a little bit of everything. A sippy of either white or chocolate milk.

Answer 2

8 am:Porridge for breakfast and some fruit...especially a couple of strawberries this time of year.

Some toast at about 10am....

Cows milk

Lunch time chicken, minced beef, pork, turkey with vegetables...the sweeter ones always disguise the nasty ones....choose sweet potato, carrot, swede, butternut squash... followed by yogurt or rice pudding.

Afternoon snack of breadsticks and cheese and a few cut up grapes

Tea time...all kinds of things....including a sausage, veg, beans, mash, meat, pasta, cheese, rice/risotto, quineoa, etc.

Cow's milk at bedtime....

That's what my little lot are having.........childminder, mother and grandmother

Answer 5

My daughter is 2 1/2.

She likes to have cereal and fruit for breakfast.  And lately she insists on having her milk in a regular cup (not sippy cup) with a straw.

She has a snack around 10:30, which is usually fruit.

At lunch she will basically eat whatever I make - eggs, pancakes, sandwich, mac & cheese, whatever.  Lately though she has been very insistent on having a PB&J sandwich EVERY day.

She has another snack after nap - usually crackers or goldfish since this is when we are likely to run errands, and they are easy on-the-go snacks

Dinner is whatever I have cooked :)

Answer 9

My little sister Mary is 2. My mom, Lara (coincidence, yay!), says this:

Breakfast- cereal with milk and banana, pancakes and applesauce and peanut butter, oatmeal, or breakfast sausage. She hates eggs.

Lunch- PB & J, grilled cheese, lots of veggies, chicken, pizza, it varies...

Dinner- whatever we are having, BUT she will not eat eggs, spicy things, and doesn't like pasta very much. Loves olives and wierd things like that.

Snacks- crackers, apples and peanut butter, crackers and cheese, olives, carrot sticks, etc.

For dessert or a special treat she gets a popsicle, italian ice, maybe ice cream if we have it. Usually her regular 'dessert' type thing is strawberries or blueberries in milk, sprinkled with a little sugar.

pb and fluff or jelly plus fruit

plain cottage cheese or yogurt plus a muffin bar and fruit

chicken

last night's leftovers

plus milk or water and maybe a 100-calorie pack of cheetos or cheez-its or goldfish

For snack (after nap around 4), any of the following:

fruit, cheese, 100-calorie pack of something, muffin bar

water

For dinner he eats what I make for my husband and myself:

spaghetti and meatballs

chicken parm

chicken with rice and broccoli

carrots and potatoes dipped in ketchup

(these are his favorites)

He has a cup of chocolate milk before bed while we read books.

If we go out for a meal, he usually eats chicken and fruit or a vegetable, plus some french fries from somebody else's plate.
