For those of you who are wondering....

What a toddler (1-2 year old) food portion size is its this:

These are the recommend amounts for each category. I will break it down further below.

Grain group: breads, pasta, rice crackers etc----6 servings
A grain servings is:
1/4-1/2 slice of bread
2 crackers
1/4 cup dry cereal
1/4 cup pasta/rice/cooked grain
So 2 slices of bread, 2 crackers,1/4 cup of pasta would meet it

Veggie group----3 servings
Fruit group---2 servings
A veggie and fruit serving is this:
1-2 table spoons of each fruit and veggies for canned
1/4 cup of fresh
dried 1 tablespoon
Meaning they need a total of 2-3 tbsp of each veggie and fruits each day

dairy group---aim for 16-24oz of dairy product for 1-2 year olds
dairy servings is:
8oz milk
1 ounce of cheese ( a pair of dice or one single string cheese is an ounce)
1/2 cup yogurt
1/4 cup cottage cheese
Remember that 4oz of yogurt, 1 ounce of cheese and 12 ounces of milk gives you a total of 17oz for dairy for that day.

meat,fish, beans protein---2 servings
meat/protein serving is:
Meat cooked---1 ounce (your ring and pinky finger together)
2tbsp peanut butter
1 egg
1/4 cup of beans

fat servings is:
1 teaspoon of butter

As you can see this is not a lot of food!! Toddlers have tiny stomachs which is why they need 3 main meals with 2-3 small snacks in between. I will post some sample menus that adhere to this as much as possible. I try not to worry to much about what G eats everyday but more what he eats in a week. This is what my pediatrician has told me to do.

Here is a sample day for G if you are curious how to space their food out.

8am wake and have breakfast with 4oz milk
9:45am-10am small snack
11:30am lunch
12-1:30 nap
2:30 Big snack
5pm dinner with 8oz milk
6:30 small bedtime snack
7 bedtime

He usually eats cheese and or yogurt everyday and drinks more milk either with lunch or at breakfast. He on average gets his 16oz of dairy in some form.
