    In my Protestant church ( uniting church of Australia) fasting has never really been a thing and the emphasis at Lent is on Lenten studies - so giving up some of ones spare time to study, often,but not neccesarily, in a small study group with 'homework' study to do in between weekly group study sessions.
    Usually focussed on the Easter message.

    But this is by no means compulsory.

    As stated upthread I usually also give up chocolate for Lent.
    This is my personal decision only,not a compulsory thing, and I do it continuously from start of Lent until Easter Sunday with no exception days.
