Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

Stop those snacks he is having. Junk food gives all those empty calories and reduce the appetite. Some children are picky eaters. What is the weight of the child so that we can comment on his current status. That will give a idea of the current status of nutrition. Never fight with a child to eat.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
