3 yr old will not eat dinner!

Lately, dinner time is a disaster. My three year old refuses to eat dinner. I make sure not to give her any snacks too close to dinner to insure that she is hungry. Usually as I'm making dinner she will start to ask for snacks so I know she's hungry. We all sit down to eat together and she just sings and pokes at her food. We have tried setting a timer for dinner because she just sits there. When the timer goes off dinner is over and if she doesn't eat then no snacks and if she's hungry before bed then she eats her dinner. That worked for a while and now she ends up just going to bed hungry which she doesn't seem to have a problem with. Last night she went to bed hungry and for lunch she had to eat her leftover dinner from the night before. Of course come lunch time she refused to eat it again, skipping another meal....I don't know what to do!!
