Do not substitute: Ask him at the table, "do you want any of this dinner"? If he says no, ignore it. If he asks to "get down" the answer is "no, stay unti we have all finished. If he asks for food a little later say "no, you must wait for the next meal". If this does not work (you have to be cruel to be kind) he might have anorexia nervosa that occasionally occurs in boys. That is more serious and you will need help.
