Charlie and Olive usually do not eat well for all three meals. For instance they both ate well for breakfast and lunch today, and they hardly touched any dinner. That's pretty normal and I'm happy if they got 2 good meals (especially for Olive because even 1 good meal is tough!).
How well does your LO eat for each meal?

She usually eats a big breakfast and dinner. Lunch is usually a snack and she snacks throughout the day.

Usually yes, but not every day. I don't worry if she doesn't eat well for a meal because she's usually such a good eater. I know she'd eat if she was hungry, and chances are she'll eat at the next meal.

Not even close. He basically only eats half a lunch and refuses everything else. He will sometimes eat an evening snack which is usually leftover from the lunch he didn't finish.

DD eats breakfast and dinner well because they are supervised by me. Lunch will many times come back barely touched. She says "but teacher said lunchtime is over" which means she was yapping with her friends and didn't really eat. DS eats a good breakfast and lunch and dinner is mostly good but not always.

More so lately, at 18 months. I usually look at protein consumption - if she's hit the mark on that, I don't stress about what else she eats that day, as long as she seems happy.

LO is 16 months and has always been a good eater, but probably around 12 months I noticed she didn't eat as much as she used to...and now it definitely varies. Most days she eats a light breakfast, big lunch and big dinner, but there are times when she'll switch it up...and eat a ton for breakfast, small lunch and huge dinner. There are days she eats all of her yogurt for her snack and a ton of fruit and other days when she barely has any of it.

We only have the 2.
First meal is great. He impresses me! But then disappoints majorly for that second meal.
He has breakfast & dinner. The lunch & bedtime feedings are just bottles.

Nope, she'll have one (or two, if I'm lucky) decent-sized meals a day. Like today - she finished a full cup of yogurt for breakfast and had 1/2 a scrambled egg + cheese, 2 chicken nuggets, and a handful of puffs for lunch. Not great meals, but I was okay with it. She refused to touch her dinner though and ate like a few bites of bread

My son usually eats pretty well on all 3 meals. His biggest meals are lunch and dinner. He may/may not finish his breakfast but he'll usually eat most of his food. He's not a huge veggies eater so he never finishes any meals with veggies in it.

He usually has a great big breakfast every morning, and according to daycare he does great with lunch pretty much every day. Dinner can be a struggle... I would say maybe one day a week he is excited to eat and eats on his own. All other nights it's a struggle to get him to finish more than a few bites.
