How big is a snack?

  I am finding that the girls are light eaters- at least compared to my friends kids and other family members.  The girls will have a banana for a snack or a 4 oz yogurt.  Or a carrot.  If I'm giving them, say, Annie's bunnies, than they have maybe 20-ish.  For lunch- on a good day Parker will eat a whole sandwich.  On bad days only 1/4 of it.  Rowan is still eating only 1/2 sandwich and is much more consistent than Parker with her eating.    Does that help?

  Typical snacks for my kids are 

  1/2 banana and 2-3 strawberries or a handful of blueberries

  Yogurt and fruit 

  1/2 an apple with peanut butter

  String cheese and 3-4 crackers

  2 handfuls of goldfish or cheez-its

  Two food groups. Some favorites include:

  Raisins and cheddar cheese (about 10-15 raisins and maybe 2 smaller slices cheese)

  Zucchini and chocolate chip cookies

  Tortilla and tomatoes (usually salsa spread on a tortilla with a few diced tomatoes)

  yogurt and berries

  Usually a snack is a string cheese, an orange, maybe 5-7 wheat thins and hummus... Definitely less than a meal.
