I need a good daily meal / snack plan for my two year old!?

My daughter will be two in May… She does eat well, and I do not give her anything she shouldnt have… but I was a bit concerned about her “big belly” lol The doctor said it was nothing to worry about just yet- but that sentence itself told me I wasn’t doing something right with her diet. And then we figured it out- She LOOOOVES milk. 2% organic. But I was giving her 4 cups a day… one in the morning, and up until sleep… The doctor said the fat causes children to gain, So we are still giving her veggies every day, fruit, eggs, and chicken. I would LOVE some great snack Ideas!!!!!! She doesnt quite understand yet why mumma doesnt give her milk as much, so I separate it in to half cups a day. Giving her less than two full cups a day total.

I’ll give you a week long meal guide as an idea :)

Monday:
Breakfast – cornflakes (or other non-sugary cereal) and milk.
Morning tea – vanilla yoghurt.
Lunch – Cheese sandwich and apple slices.
Afternoon tea – carrot and celery sticks.
Dinner – Roast beef, broccoli, carrot, potato and gravy.

Tuesday:
Breakfast – toast with jam, peanut butter or vegemite.
Morning tea – strawberry yoghurt (real fruit yoghurt, not the fake sugary stuff).
Lunch – fruit salad.
Afternoon tea – jelly.
Dinner – fish fingers, salad and mashed potatoes.

Wednesday:
Breakfast – cereal (non sugary) and milk.
Morning tea – pear slices.
Lunch – grilled cheese sandwich.
Afternoon tea – vegetables and dip.
Dinner – nachos.

Thursday:
Breakfast – boiled egg and toast.
Morning tea – apple slices with vanilla yoghurt.
Lunch – jam sandwich.
Afternoon tea – frozen yoghurt or ice cream.
Dinner – spinach quiche and salad.

Friday:
Breakfast – pancakes with healthy toppings.
Morning tea – orange slices.
Lunch – potato salad.
Afternoon tea – strawberries and grapes.
Dinner – grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, broccoli, carrot and beans.

Saturday:
Breakfast – scrambled eggs and toast.
Morning tea – melon slices.
Lunch – tuna fish sandwich.
Afternoon tea – cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices.
Dinner – hamburger and salad.

Sunday:
Breakfast – cereal and milk.
Morning tea – biscuits and cheese.
Lunch – fruit salad and yoghurt.
Afternoon tea – milkshake (with egg to make it more filling).
Dinner – zucchini slice and salad.

I’m not sure if this will fit your family’s diet but I gave it a go.
I tried to slip in occasional treats, along with balancing daily nutrients.
