[quote=Anonymous]OP, whether your way provides the best nutrition or not is less relevant than the control issues you're demonstrating for your children. There's a difference between "No, you can't have a snack because I'm making dinner" and "No, you can't have a snack ever because it's good for you to be hungry." Also it sounds like your son is old enough to participate in these conversations. Perhaps you could ask him what he feels is "enough" at meals. I remember a thread on here by a woman with teenagers who was basically feeding them the dieting quasi starvation rations that women on here recommend (small piece of baked chicken, a salad with lots of veggies and a tiny bit of rice) and couldn't believe that her growing children were not satisfied by that.
