I can so relate. We have a battle on our hands every night with Evan. i have resorted to simply tellin ghim its hear if he wants it. Last night he didn't want it & said he only wanted take away! Pitty we live 40 minutes away from the closest Macca's . In the end he had a bowl of ceral just before bed.
I use to fight but now I just can't be bothered. He get the option of a sandwich or something equally as easy if he doesn't want what I made. I have also made a habbit of asking him hwhat I should cook for dinner. Sometimes it works but usually not.
