Ditto. The bigger deal you make of it the more she'll hang on to that control.
If you're tired of wasting the food just give her a tiny amount of everything, telling her she can have more if she wants. The Food Program says you need to have the minimums available; not that you've got to serve the minimums.
Remember, it's your job to provide healthy food, it's her job to decide what and how much to eat.
