getting rid of snacks

Hi,  I have a 5 year old (Just 5, dec 1). My problem is that he is only 32 pounds and eats good some of the time.  He will sit down with the faimily and eat but doesn't have the attention span to eat a full meal.  We have tried everything from setting a timer to sending him to his room. Nothing works.  After he eats a half a sandwich he says he's full we make him  take to more bites, which he does and then five minutes later he wants a snack.  How can I stop this action on his part so  he will eat more nutritiously and stop him from asking every two minutes for a snack.
