Well, to be fair it's more like 90 minutes (from a meal...45 from a snack) than 30...but yeah, it's not like that makes it normal! I totally agree it's weird. I'm going to try shifting more towards protein and away from carbs after reading all the comments, and see if that changes anything.
A lot of his snacks really are small, though - eating a bell pepper or an apple or a piece of peanut butter toast are typical examples. He does have meals-sized snacks, too, though..I dunno, man. There have been lots and lots (AND LOTS :p) of times when he's had to deal with being hungry or not getting much (for him...), and they have never seemed to alter any of this.
I definitely ask him if he's really hungry or not pretty often. And I've tried gum (especially in the car), to no avail.
