How much should a 2.5 year old eat?

How much should a 2.5 year old eat? That seems reasonable, especially since most 2.5 year olds eat pretty much what we eat at 1). The formula is 2,000 calories divided by 4,000 milligrams. So a 2 year old can potentially carry 2,000 calories — enough for 2 solid servings of formula.
My little girl is 13.5 months but 111.5 months corrected (2 months premie). When we started solids she loved pretty much everything. But more recently she has decided she doesn’t want anything except cake, yoghurt, scrambled egg and baby mum Mum crackers or baby corn based chip type snaks( a little like twisties). I have tried cooking things like potato, cheese and veggie patties, beef and quinoa meatballs, strawberries, baby mueslis bars, veggie purée and rice, veggie purée and vegan cheese curds, veggie purées and veggie patties, veggie purées and rice, pasta with veggie sauce and bolognaise but she might have one tiny mouthful or none at all and then waves her hands, shakes her head and clamps her mouth shut. I’ve started monitoring her weight again as I’m concerned it’s gone on long enough that it might effect her weight. She does appear to have three more top teeth coming through as well. Any tips that you think might help to get more food into her
Welcome to the club! Slower growth after 12 months, striving for more independence both with food choices and self feeding, plus lower appetite than before are all signs of a typical toddler. Thsi article may help but please reach out if you need more help:
Hello, I actually had a quick question because I’m a ftm and I feel like I’m not feeding my daughter enough. So for the schedule for the 1 year old, when do I do formula and when do I feed a solid food snack? The previous schedules had suggestions but that one didn’t. My daughter will be one this Wednesday.

How much should a 2.5 year old eat? That is a lot of food, especially when your child is still a toddler. How much does a 2 year old need at each age? Well, the scientific community agrees that 2.5 servings of formula are a good starting point, but many toddlers are eating more. What does that mean? It could mean that your child is eating more than 2 snacks per day, or that she is eating 3 snacks per day. The good news is that the guidelines for 2.5 year olds have changed a lot over the past decade or so — they are no longer focused on 2 snacks per day but instead are focusing on one snack per day.
The guidelines for 2.5 year olds are based on age 4 to 6. However, guidelines for children 3 to 5 years old should be used for 2 reasons: 1) They are the ones who will be eating the snacks and drinks, and 2) They are more sensitive to iron-containing foods. A diet high in fat and sugar will make feeding a 2.5 year old more difficult because she will be eating fewer snacks per day.
The recommendations for 2.5 year olds can be met with success if children are eating 3 to 5 snacks per day. However, a diet high in fat and sugar will make feeding a 3 to 5 year old more difficult because she will be eating fewer snacks per day.
