Basic rule: "You have to eat the nutritious stuff before you get to eat the treats. If you don't finish the nutritious stuff at dinner, we'll save it for when you get hungry later. After you finish the nutritious stuff, *THEN* you get a treat."
It's been a mantra for eighteen years. I have managed to raise two relatively healthy, normal-weight teenagers with this mantra.
