4 year old : Mealtime

Question

Meals with my 3 and 4 year old... I make them a well-balanced meal and call them to the table. Eat a bite and they say "I'm full can I play." I say no desert then. That used to help but they don't really care anymore. Question is do I let them go play and leave the food there and let them come back and forth? And for how long. They know there is no more food until breakfast. We don't eat with them at dinner so their back and forth is usually while I am doing housework, etc. This is mostly a dinner time issue. I am tired of throwing away food.
