So today my just turned 4 yr old son has eaten -
Breakfast - 2 weetbix
Snacks - Apple, banana, packet chips, sultanas.
Lunch - 2 sandwiches
Snacks - Apple, 4 cheese sticks. Le snack Pack. Big pile of ham. Grapes. 3 fruit bars
Dinner - chips and steak
And he's STILL starving. Is this normal?
He's a very tall boy for his age but all skin and bones. Eats way more than I do as an adult

This is very normal, alot of the time it's through bordem that they eat but sometimes also because they have not had enough to drink. Instead of him having a snack every time, offer him a big glass of water as this will fill his belly and he won't eat as much. I find that if I keep my children busy in between snacks they are less likely to think about food. Good luck hope it helps
Yep
My 4 yr old daughter eats a lot too. Before snacks try giving him a good drink of water. I have a drink bottle on the counter for both my children and they can have a drink when ever they like and always before they eat.
