It seems your are confusing Lent with the Muslim practice during Ramadan. During lent you are supposed to make sacrifices and do penance, but the only mandatory practice is to abstain from meat on Fridays and to fast on ash Wednesday and Holy Friday. Even then, the fast is different in the Latin Rite of the church than what is usually considered a fast. You are allowed one meal during the middle of the day (preferably a modest one) and two small meals (one in the morning and one at night) that together don't constitute a full meal. You are allowed to fast in a stricter manner, but this is the minimum requirement.
