As a general answer, monks and nuns eat simple, modest diets. Catholics tend to eat what they grow - however, they can eat what they like outside certain holy days of fasting.

Buddhists within monastery walls may only eat vegetarian diets except for certain orders, like the Dalai Lama's order, who eat meat regularly.

Why can Buddhists not eat after midday?

Lay Buddhists can eat at any time. Monks and Nuns can not eat after mid-day.The reason for this is that food should be to only nourish the body and not for a source of pleasure. Also Monks and Nuns work to satisfy themselves with only minimal things, food included. Lastly eating at night makes the mind sluggish for meditation.
