We struggled with this as well! We did start letting him eat when he wanted to eat, but, since he seemed so ravenous then, we made sure it was healthy! Plenty of protein & calories: cheeseburgers, eggs, milk, vegetables.
We decided the mealtime rules were less important to us than his growth.

It seems like ever since I started with the PediaSure, he now has a hard time eating at any meal. This morning I fixed scrambled eggs and bacon and he even had a hard time eating that.
I am finding that he is so hungry between 4-6, so I let him eat, but then he does not eat supper very well. I am really struggly with just lettiing him eat whenever then he won't eat what I put on the table for supper. It is so against our "rules"
Does anyone else notice their hunger is only at certain time frame of the day?
joemom - what do you put in your smoothies?pedisure it's ensure for kids.
I also had to make sure my son ate a little more if it were up to him 2 spoonfuls and he would be off
My daughter takes Adderall XR, and this has been a constant struggle since she began taking it. I give her a high quality multiple vitamin that I get through the GNC. I also give her Ensure when she has not been eating well. She is usually starved at breakfast, since she has not had her meds as of yet, so I usually give her whatever she wants. She seems to make up for lost time then. Several small meals spaced during the day are sometimes helpful. I also often encourage her to at least eat something light (like cheese and crackers or fruit) if she doesn't feel like eating what we are having.we put all kinds of things into the smoothies....my son loves pumpkin pie so I make a pumpkin pie smoothie with a few scoops of canned pumpkin, carnation instant breakfast and pumpkin pie spice...
my friend adds peanutbutter to the chocolate flavor carnation instant breakfast she also has added cottage cheese
sometimes we add cinnamon or fruit
If you have a good blender almost anything goes that your child likes
