How many times per week (on average) do you serve your toddler meat/chicken/fish?

Question

My DH and I are pretty much vegetarian aside from eating fish once a week. 
My LO has 2 meat meals per week when he’s at daycare, he eats fish the night we have it and I also try to give him at least one other meat meal per week (usually a bolognaise or something similar when we’re having a spicy curry or something I wouldn’t really serve him). I’m wondering if this is enough? We also eat eggs and plenty of plant based protein sources like beans, etc.
How often do you serve your LO’s meat/chicken/fish?
If anyone has any good toddler friendly freezable meat or chicken meal suggestions I’d love these too!

Answer

My son is only 10 months but we don’t eat meat therefore he won’t either unless he decides to of course when he’s older. My son gets beans and brown rice, lentils, quinoa and tons of veggies and fruits

Answer

We are meat eaters, so almost every day. The exception would be if we have a cheese ravioli or something like that. Otherwise there’s meat in pretty much every dinner we make.

Answer

4-10 times a week. I eat very differently between summer and winter. Winter is mostly vegetarian. Summer is grilled protein and veggies. I really stay out of the kitchen as much as possible. Anyway. He eats it the meal it’s served, and then as leftovers for lunch the next day. Usually fish twice, chicken twice, red meat once.
Also, I wouldn’t avoid feeding him spicy curries and stuff unless he already had a bad reaction to them. My one year old happily eats really spicy tikka masala and palak paneer.

Answer

We don't eat meat at all. Why wouldn't you give him the curry you eat?

Everyday for mine

my little one eats meat almost every day. he likes it and also he can’t eat eggs or dairy so i like to make sure he gets enough protein.

Answer

Mine eat meat every day. My friend is a vegetarian and her toddler eats meat like once or twice a month. All kids are perfectly healthy according to their doctors.

Answer

Every meal has a meat, fruit, and vegetable in our house, with carbs and dairy being secondary/optional.

Answer

We don't serve our 11mo meat every day (we don't eat meat every day). There are other sources of protein, as you know. Eggs, beans, lentils, dairy, etc.
