DD is 5.5yo. Her daily food intake is:
Small bowl of HEALTHY cereal for breakfast, with skimmed milk. Sometimes a hot cocoa.
A fruit or veg - eg nectarine, small prepacked compote (very occasionally, I detest them!), raisins, small pot yogurt, carrot, pepper etc.
2 slices wholewheat bread with cheese, egg etc.
A mezonos snack (pretzels, crackers, nish nosh etc).
A second mezonos snack after school.
She usually eats a decent supper - portion of protein, veg and carb. But doesn't always eat all of those food groups.
She's my oldest, is that enough food for her for a day?

I would move her onto whole milk, not skimmed. Children need more fat in their diet than adults.

First of all, what does pediatrician say?
AFAIK your food choices seem to be very good (nothing loaded with sugar etc) As previously said, kids need full fat milk.
You deserve extra praise for including vegetables

I think she's fine. My girls never ate much, and one is a healthy mommy and the other a healthy highschooler ka"h. I think the most important thing is to help them develop healthy attitudes about food.
By the way, between these two girls I have a boy who eats everything that isn't nailed down! The shabbosim he is home I literally make double the food! We leave him alone too.

Is she sleeping well?
Is she calm and happy?
Is she growing?
Different people need different amounts of food. If she is calm, happy, sleeping well, growing in acc with her age, you're doing great.
