Four was an aweful time in our house, evil seemed to peak at that age... there are constant fights over whatever they decicde they want to fight about, and the neat thing about being a parent is remaining a strong guiding force to show them right from wrong, good from bad, icky from tasty!! Children simply don't have the knowlege to guide themselves.
Unless there is a serious eating disorder, I wouldn't sweat it. Put what you make in front of the little one, when she gets hungry, she'll eat. But before that, they kick, scream, bit, cry and generally get pissy. But they still get hungry. It boils down to a test of wills, which, as annoying as it is, you have to win. I recall making deals, but don't give in to anything until after they do.
Just my opinion, Good luck!!
