How much and what does your preschooler eat?

Thanks everyone.

Deb - DD is up over the 97th percentile for both height and weight too, I always used to give her as much as she requested, but now she requests more than she needs I think 

Looking at the amounts here, I'd say she was definitely eating more than she needed.  For 2 weeks now, I've watched portions, especially for snacks and she doesn't say she is hungry 

She loves food, but more so she loves cooking - so keeping that balance is going to be my challenge.

My hv always said at meal time let them lead on how much they want as long as it fruit/ veg that they are filling up on. This way you know that they are eating healthy stuff and it avoids snacking. I am lucky as dd loves fruit and veg.

Have tried cooking a few times with dd, but def need to do it more often.
