Can I break my voluntary Lenten discipline?

[onceablasphemer]

Hi,

I decided to give up all meat(including) for Lent. I believe that I am beginning to feel effects of protein deficiency(depression, increased carbohydrate cravings, fatigue) even though I have upped my intake of alternate proteins. Is it wrong to have meat if the feeling gets too severe? I want to make a good sacrifice for penance but feel my health is being affected.
