Question How many carbs does your child consume in an average day?

I have been going over Adin's info. Which arose my curiousity about how many carbs other children consume in an average day?

Adin is 3 and consumes on average 150 carbs a day.

ella is 5, 45 lbs, and has about 185 : 30 breakfast, 60 lunch, 60 dinner and 3 15g snacks. That schedule is changing, though and she will probably want less - they set that one up for us at the hospital, and it's a bit too much for her.

Ava's two, and eats about 130 give or take

25 breakfast, 15 snack, 30 lunch, 20 snack, 40 dinner more or less.

She eats too much meat though to try to have some free foods. She's a carnivore.

Do you do that on purpose? Are you working on a low carb diet to keep her numbers down or is that what she'd normally eat anyway?
