How much food is your 1 year old eating each meal?

Question

Just curious about how much food your lo is eating.  I think mine is eating about 2-2.5 cups of food per day split into three meals.  He has about 8 oz of formula.  He is really small for his age (only 3 percentile in weight) but has always been that way.

Answer

My daughter is in the 5th percentile,  she had heart problems she gets 4 oz of milk each meal and eats until she turns away.  Then 5 oz at bed time.
She will already be small because of her heart. 
It's okay,  just try your best.

Answer

I honestly don’t know cup amounts but my daughter is already eating like a teenager. Breakfast she has 2 scrambled eggs or toast with peanut butter. Snack of cheerios or a nutrigrain bar, lunch at school so I don’t know an amount, snack of applesauce, dinner is like a slice of chicken the size of a chicken tender, broccoli (maybe 10 small florets), and a banana (whole thing) or raspberries. I feel like she eats a crap ton.

Answer

I feel like my baby doesn’t eat a lot compared to others her age... until a month ago, she was eating about a tablespoon of food at each meal. She recently hit a growth spurt and suddenly wants way more food. I make sure to have food available to her throughout the day and encourage her to eat more and keep her focused at mealtime but it seems she just knows when she’s full and I trust that. She is still breastfeeding about 4 times a day and throughout the night. This is what she ate today:
Breakfast: an ounce of water with lemon, two slices of cantaloupe, a handful of raspberries.
Lunch: a sip of water, half of a banana, half of an apple, a teaspoon of nut butter.
Dinner: an ounce of water, half of a sweet potato, half of an avocado, half of a cup of arugula. 
Most days are very similar, but with different fruits and vegetables. We have given her chickpeas and are planning to try lentils this week. We will introduce grains when she is 2. I’m not worried about her weight gain, she eats until she is satisfied.

Answer

My 13 month old would eat more than her 4 year old brother if i would let her. Ive never seen such a tiny human eat so much and still want more. 
Breakfast she will have two waffles (same amount as big bro) and some water or milk
Shes constantly snacking throughout the day. 
Lunch can he half a pb&j sandwhich OR ive seriously seen this child eat an entire microwaveable cup of easy mac. The whole thing.my jaw hit the floor. 
Dinner is whatever we eat. Shes been eating what we eat since 8 months. 
Shes 20lbs and shes short. Shes always been on the smaller side and slow to gain. I wish i had that problem🙄😂

Answer

Breakfast;
One egg, one piece of toast with a 4 ounce bottle
Or two waffles with a fruit; four strawberries or half of a banana.
Lunch;
Four chicken nuggets with cheese puffs or fries (he’s not the biggest fan of fries) with 4 ounces milk
Or a peanut butter a jelly sandwich. 
Dinner; 
Homemade soup he probably eats 1 cup of it with milk.
Or whatever we are eating.
Snacks, we have two a day.
Muffins, cheese and crackers, puffs, Cheerios or a whole banana. 💕 I also will do another small bottle of milk after a snack.
I feel like he’s not eating enough but when he’s done he just starts playing in it and throwing it in the floor 😂 I always follow up with whole milk. He gets one bottle of formula before bedtime.
