Hello, if the Church requires us today not to eat meat and eat only one full meal and two smaller meals, is it okay not eat at all, only eat one full meal or anything less as long as you do not go beyond the “one full meal and two smaller meals”?
 
Yes I think the one full meal, two smaller meals is a floor not a ceiling. It used to be 24 hour fast on Ash Wed and Good Friday and no food before 3pm all of lent. So we have it relatively easy compared to our Catholic brothers and sisters hundreds of years ago.
