Meal servings for 1-2-year olds

By ABBIE SCOTT, RD

Do you wonder what a typical meal serving looks like for 1-2-year-olds? Shown below are some examples of various meals and portion sizes for this age.

Although the portions shown are for 1–2-year-olds, kids are not eating EVERY food group at a meal, so portions may be larger at times.

If you have any feeding/nutritional issues you would need to be addressed, please don’t hesitate to contact Capernaum!

The following link displays a helpful table of food groups and serving sizes that will supplement the examples above. (SOURCE: healthychildren.org)
