My soon to be 8 year old son was on Concerta and we had the same issues with food. I agree with Matthews comment of food at breakfast and dinner. It did settle down a little after a while. I think it was also a control thing with him too. I stuck to the rule of if he ate at least half his meal he could have a dessert, this works quite well. Unless your son starts losing weight I wouldn't worry too much. Recently had to change his meds as he "overrode" the Concerta and is now on Strattera. THis tablet seems to work slightly differently and he is eating a bit more.
