    This is very normal as young boys have a very big metabolism! he'll go threw stages where he doesn't want to eat anything.. and than all the sudden everything. If it is really excessive try to encourage more healthy snacks. Sometimes are minds trick us that we are hungry we our stomached aren't actually hungry. If he eats dinner or lunch ect and is hungry after give it 20 minutes. Paediatricians say a lot of people are hungry after they eat a full meal but if you wait just 15 minutes all the sudden you'll feel so full! don't worry he can eat as many times a day as he wants as long as it doesn't start effecting his weight! Breakfest Lunch and dinner with a few snacks in between is normal. (:

    A 7 year old should be eating three times a day with a small snack in the evening. But never ALL DAY LONG
