I ate one slice of bread with peanut butter, banana, and cup of coffee this morning. For lunch I had a tuna sand which with plain tuna it was a 5 oz can with a yogurt. For supper my husband cooked noodles with stirfry veggies and shrimp and I ate some in a bowl.
Is this an acceptable fast? I didn’t snack in between and besides that one cup of coffee I drank water during day.

The guideline we are given is two small meals, one regular meal, no snacks, and no meat.
What you described sounds fine to me, and I am disinclined to see people worry over the exact amount they fast, as long as they made the effort.
However, any time you are truly worried, take it to confession.
Have a blessed and holy Lent!

It depends on the person, for me that’d probably induce my body to engage in starvation mode.

If you normally eat 1800 calories then stay under 1200. Those three could be under or over depending on the amount of fat in the stir-fry.

Slice of bread with peanut butter and banana. 300
Tuna sandwich with 5 oz plain tuna, yogurt. 600
Noodles with stir-fry veggies and shrimp. 8 oz? 160 - 500
