How many times does your toddler eat meat each day?

Just curious.

DD eats either a piece of meatloaf, a meatball, and sometimes when I can convince her, a few small pieces of chicken each day. I'm trying to get her to eat some beans too.

But she's just served a meat once a day, although she does get a little moreprotein via eggs, enriched pasta, etc.

DD is 20 months.

Noah barely eats so its not much. I'd say once a day and a few bites. Somehow he continues to not lose weight but I dont know how that is. And he hates eggs....

His fav's with meat are meatballs ( regular, turkey or chicken) and plain roasted or baked chicken breasts.

We just introduced hotdogs, which I hate but he eats them so ok...

Thats about it

The only meat he eats is chicken and I probably give it to him every other day. I dont want him to get bored of it considering it is one of the 10 food he will only eat

Re: How many times does your toddler eat meat each day?

Once a day-very very rarely twice a day.

Bella LOVES bacon too...omg she chants for it!! "Bacon!Bacon!bacon!" She'll get that once a week.

She'll eat chicken sometimes, depending on how it's made. She had some chicken cutlets the other night. And usually will eat it if I make a roast chicken.

Had some turkey (deli) meat yesterday from my sandwich. She will eat virginia ham roll ups, but it's when she's in the mood.

She LOVE LOVE LOVES Applegate Farm chicken and turkey hotdogs and she eats them ALL the time, 2 at a time.

But she's not interested in any kind of chopped meat at all.

DD hardly ever eats meat...she just refuses...she does eat turkey dogs which i dont really consider meat lol

Re: How many times does your toddler eat meat each day?

Usually once, just during dinner. Sometimes twice if I give him a ham or turkey sandwich for lunch.

Re: How many times does your toddler eat meat each day?

At least once a day. If you consider chicken or turkey a "meat" then on a lot of days, 2x. I almost always serve some some sort of meat - chicken, turkey, meatballs...

Re: How many times does your toddler eat meat each day?

Once, maybe twice.

Re: How many times does your toddler eat meat each day?

every day and depending on lunch, sometimes twice a day. If it is at lnch ir is either leftovers or chicken nuggets.

He eats chicken, fish and any kind of ground meat. He will have steak if it is chopped small, very tender and served with something else (mixed in rice or veg). He's not a big fan of pork. He will usually eat a fraction of pork compared to anything else I serve.

I tried hot dogs last night, that was a no-go.

He also eats a lot of beans, at least a couple of times a week. And I just bought Dr. Praegers veggie burgers which have 5g's of protien.

Probably 1x a day.

He likes meatballs, meatloaf, chicken nuggets.

He HATES hot dogs.

He does like veggie burgers, I get the Morningstar Farms ones and put a slice of american cheese on it and he LOVES it.

Re: How many times does your toddler eat meat each day?

Wow - DD only eats it like 3 times a week. She is not a big meat eater at all. I've tried steak, meatballs, brisket.... she just doesnt like it. She'll eat chicken sometimes. And yesterday she decided that she no longer likes chicken nuggets.

Re: How many times does your toddler eat meat each day?

Once a day usually. She gets protein from other sources though...yogurt, eggs (loves those), cheese.
