So the story is A brings home a cake to B and tells him to eat it however B
responds with this

> だ、騙されんぞ。今は夕飯前だ。この時間は夕飯が **入らなくなるからと** 、食べさせてくれないだろう？

What I don't get is the 入らなくなるからと.

question
meaning
What does [入]{はい}らなくなるからと mean in this sentence?
> 夕飯{ゆうめし}が入{はい}らなくなるから **と**

≒

> 『夕飯が入らなくなるから』 **と**

In other words, the 「と」 is quotative.

≒

> 『夕飯が入らなくなるから』 **と** 言{い}って

or

> 『夕飯が入らなくなるから』 **と** いう理由{りゆう}で

Even without knowing what this story is about, the meaning of the line is
perfectly clear.

> "I won't be fooled. It's just before dinner now. You wouldn't normally let
> me eat anything around this time, saying I wouldn't be able to eat the
> dinner (if I ate something)."

「夕飯が入らなくなる」 literally means "dinner becomes unable to go into (me/my
stomach)."

Thus, I used "I wouldn't be able to eat the dinner" in my own translation.

Seems like the speaker does not trust Person A and/or the cake.

I think it goes like this:

騙されん = 騙されない "will not be tricked"

入らない is いらない , meaning "does not need" , i.e. "will not want", properly
written either with hiragana or with the kanji 要: 要らない . So いらなくなる , "it will
become that I do not want" means "I shall cease to want", "I shall lose my
desire for", and いらなくなるから = "because I shall not want". と is the "quotative と
" and からと means "stating that it is because", "giving the reason that", "on
the grounds that".

A literalish version would go:

"I shall not be deceived. Now is [just] before dinner time. At this time
[he/she/you/they/somebody] won't let me eat it on the grounds that I shall
cease to want my dinner - isn't that right?".

As a somewhat more natural version, I'd suggest:

"You won't catch me out. It's nearly dinner time, and [whoever-it-is] wouldn't
let me eat it now because they'd say it would spoil my appetite for dinner -
right?"

Note in passing the difference between から, meaning "because", "for the true or
valid reason that", and からといって "on the false or spurious grounds that".
