Exactly. My kids are allowed to stop eating when they're full. If they don't like the protein, they can cook eggs or have peanut butter. If they don't like the veg, they can substitute it for whatever raw veggies we have that they do like. I won't cook 2 meals, & they're required to try a bite of everything before they say they don't like it. If they don't anything, they go to bed immediately. If they don't eat enough "real food", they don't get dessert (usually like a cookie or fun size candy bar, nothing real bug. I'm not stupid enough to give 4 kids a big dessert & then wrangle them into bed) Surprise, my kids aren't fat, & they know what healthy choices they can make
