As others advise, chuck the high chair. Most of the toddler foods overfeed the kid (if she doesn't throw the food on the floor - grrrr). I feed mine a plate of superfood salad in the morning and just before bed, and it's just the right amount. (I also keep some fruit in their inventory in case they need a boost late in the day.)
Toddlers fill up on just about any food except for a few things before finishing their plate....that's why I just give them the toddler foods as most of the adult foods that take time to prepare are wasted on them.
Once the Thinking skill is leveled up, they don't throw food. So, yeah, if you have a toddler with low skills, they will defy and throw tantrums and throw food and wake up with nightmares and won't be able to use the potty themselves or put themselves to bed properly (they'll just nap on the bed instead). A toddler with 3 in potty and at least 4 in Thinking is almost entirely self-sufficient.....all they need is an occasional bath, some toys to keep busy with and stick out a plate of food every so often for them to grab. It always makes me wonder if some people don't realize how easy toddlers are once their skills are leveled up because they always age up before getting to that point. There is monumental difference between a toddler with level 1 skills across the board and a toddler with maxed skills across the board....they are almost 2 different life states, lol.
