Currently, Catholics have no requirements to eat something specific during Lent. They do, however, have to abstain from meat (excluding fish) on Friday's in Lent. They also have to fast on both Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Catholics of the appropriate ages (14 to about 60) are required to do this as long as they are in good health and are thus able to.
