fasting for lent?

Ok, fasting. 2 light snacks and one meal smaller than normal, not to be taken before sundown? or something along those lines. How many calories would that be?

My calorie intake on Ash Wednesday was about 930 (which MFP yelled at me for) but it was meals as my family normally eats on days of fasting. I had an orange for breakfast, tuna fish for lunch, and garlic shrimp over rice, spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette, and 1% milk for dinner. Hope this helps

I ate about 850 kcal on Wednesday. I had a powerbar for a mid-day meal and buttered egg noodles for dinner.

The rule for Catholics is: one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal in quantity. Not sure about other denominations.

Are you talking about doing this everyday? Or just Fridays/Ash Wednesday/Good Friday?

Total calories would really depend on your mail meal.

i'm around 1300 calories per day... usually around 500 for biggest meal because I like to snack at night

on another note, I'm not having any difficulty at all not eating popcorn at night (my go -to snack)
