My boyfriend has three little girls, 3, 3 and 5. I try to feed them balanced and correctly portioned meals and snacks even though the 5 year old is extremely picky. They eat about every 2 hours but always ask for more food every hour. I don't mind giving them more, but when I do they barely eat any of it. If I don't give them more they throw screaming crying tantrums. It's exhausting.

You ask specifically "How can I get [them] to stop asking for food every hour." Are you only looking for that answered specifically, or are you open to answers regarding managing the frequent feeding in different ways (including possibly allowing them to have food every hour, but in a way that's more manageable)? Thanks!

I don't mind giving them more, but when I do they barely eat any of
it.
Then pack it up, and offer it the next time they ask for more.
Or keep healthy snacks like cheese and raisins available without having to ask.
