Was interested in the discussion about how much they actually eat, I've tried to be fairly relaxed and not monitor intake but today I made an effort for this thread!!!
Breakfast - slice of toast with pear and mango purée - ate 1.5 fingers roughly
Lunch - half a small hm bready scroll (my Daddy Cooks recipe) with pesto, about quarter of a rice cake spread with pear and mango purée, 1 slice cucumber
Dinner - hm cottage pie (including grated veggies and tomatoes) - I would estimate 2 (adult) tablespoons eaten. Quarter of a fruit pot

what can I say, he loves his food...today Joel had:
breakfast: mini shredded wheats soaked in milk (about 4-5), probably about half a nectarine (I put a plateful of fruit and cereal out for him and his brother and didn't see exactly what he got)
lunch: wholemeal toast with butter and mashed banana (shared with me, he had about half a slice)
dinner: grilled chicken (couple of small pieces, bitesize), basmati rice mixed with cream cheese (so it would stick to the spoon and he could pick it up in chunks; he had maybe a good tablespoonful), broccoli (one medium floret), peas (he loved trying to pick them up, had quite a few), blueberries (a handful, that's my hand not his)
snacks: cucumber chunks, half a rich tea, a breadstick

LO actually ate quite a lot today!
B - stewed apricots and yoghurt (refused completely)
L - tagliatelle with asparagus (ate about 2 strands of pasta in total which is a lot for her) watermelon (refused)
D - chicken and rice salad (had 2 or 3 mouthfuls of chicken and 5 or 6 mouthfuls of rice
Snack - few mouthfuls of chickpea patty, half a rice cake, peach (had great fun squashing to a pulp but didn't actually eat any.
Altogether it was a lot for her so I was quite pleased. She doesn't seem too keen on fruit or veg though. She mostly likes bread, pasta, rice etc but won't eat any fruit other than apples or any veg other than peppers and even then it's just a little. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Today she has had:
Breakfast - porridge with pear purée (estimate 2 adult tablespoons)
Lunch - we were out so she just had a suck a a couple of fingers of bread!
Dinner - quinoa and carrot salad (was difficult for her to eat so maybe 2 teaspoons full), half a pesto and tomato bready scroll, 2 slices avocado, quarter low salt rice cake, whole fruit pot, 1/4 pear
At dinner time she was at the table for about an hour eating everything offered, it's the first time I've given her solid food first before her milk.

Yesterday my little lady had:
B - prune and peach breakfast pouch (about half), superfruity shreddies soaked in bm (not tried) and a few mouthfuls of peach.
L - salmon and spinach on a rice cake (all of it), organix sweet corn rings (1), 1/2 slice cucumber, 1/2 slice pear.
T - hm haddock goujons (small piece), 1 mini waffle, suck of an oven chip (not impressed), sweet corn and peas (ate a few). Unimpressed with her dinner so had some almond butter on a corn thin then had leftover semolina with apple and blueberry puree.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but if your lo isn't impressed with their food do you offer something else? My lo is a bit funny with soft textures and because her eating has picked up in the last couple of weeks I'm trying to keep offering it but she doesn't seem too impressed and might try a little but mainly just wants to kill it

Bit dispiriting posting here when ds eats so little - but I'll do it in case it reassures other mummies of nibblers 
B - 3 oatibix bites (ate maybe 1?), half stick of pineapple
L - half slice bread with butter, 2 sticks cucumber, 1 stick cheddar - hard to say how much he actually swallowed though as he cried at the end and most fell out his mouth!
D - approx 1 tbsp hm fish pie (topped with sweet potato and cheese), 1 & 1/2 broccoli trees, 2-3 large tsps Greek yoghurt and fruit purée
And this is a good eating day for him...
