Meal times driving me mad!!!

My 2yo has suddenly become a little terror at meal times. She is fine at breakfast but at lunch and dinner she refuses to eat and complains the food is too hot (it's not too hot) or just outright refuses to eat by turning her head and saying no. She complains and and whines and just makes meal times miserable and I am at the end of my tether!
She also asks constantly for snacks and cake but I've got to the stage where I am refusing snacks inbetween meals because I am so fed up with this behaviour. She is also refusing to eat food she likes and has never had a problem with. The only thing she won't complain about is bloody beans on toast. What has happened? What can I do????

When we had this, I told her this is all there is and if she doesn’t want it now that’s fine, I will cover it up and when she is hungry she can have it. Then when she came asking for snacks, I said you haven’t had your dinner/tea yet, heated it up if necessary and gave it to her. Don’t know if it’ll work for you but that’s how we got through it. It did pass quickly though.

I am in the exact same position with my 2 year old. Please let me know if anything has worked. Also at the end of my tether
