I do not quite understand by what you mean by eating 'too much food'. Sometimes children see different foods at other places, such as restaurants or friends, etc, which is different from their home; they either want more or they refuse it. If they want more, that is the normal curious exposure to different tastes and foods. If you feel they eat an excess amount of food away from your home, then allow them to eat all the different foods, however, limit the portion sizes. If you state their ages and their weight/height, I can give you further guidelines on the amount of food they need daily.
