I'm convinced our 6 and 3 year old (my cousins, not my children but I have them a lot) eat out of boredom. Honestly. But, when I do a little research, it says that kids their age eat all the time anyway - and should. So, I'm wondering your take on this. Granted, I know I could give them healthier options but as stated, they are not my kids. Still I do limit candy and junk. Today they drove me crazy with the constant wants but they had:

Breakfast:

A bowl of cereal.
A second bowl for the 6 year old.

They didn't ask for anything between breakfast and lunch, but, somewhere in the middle, one of them had a caprisun.

Lunch:

A turkey sandwich their mother made (I added mayo because she just gives them bread and meat)
An individual pack of cheezits.
1/2 apple sliced, each.
Koolaid 'tinted' water (I don't like to give them too much sugar; so imagine reallly watered down koolaid).

They asked for a piece of candy, she had a piece of chocolate, he had an organic watermelon lollipop.

They asked for another piece of candy, I allowed them to have one more (because even adults want one more).

I later gave them a 1/2 chocolatechip/granola chewy bar each.

They asked for a snack, I gave them:

Popcorn (about two cups worth each? guessing)
Pineapple/Coconut Yogurt blended with raisin, blueberry and granola.
A cup of water each.

They asked for a drink again I gave him a cup of blueberry juice, her a cup of grape juice.

They said they were hungry after having had snack an hour before (said it was "so long" ago) and I really didn't want to feed them, but I really don't know if they are hungry, so I gave them each:

Pretzel goldfish
1 hotdog w/ one slice of wheat bread
A cup of water.

Everything from lunch down, was in a 5 hour time span. Is that normal?
