They allow the two snacks to make sure people aren't collapsing left and right. They don't want to lose good Catholics (need to maintain the ranks, after all), just want them to suffer a bit.

Not always, but right now, yes. I always thought that fasting connoted liquids only (do other religions that fast have different rules?). I would not consider that diet to be a hardship (unless maybe it was over a several day span, but for 1 day, no way). Lately I have been limiting myself to a full meal at lunch (not high in fat though) and a small dinner-time meal (e.g. english muffin with peanut butter or a Subway 6" sub or a salad). I am trying to cut my calories to around 1700-1800 at the moment because of the ever-looming swimsuit season (hey, I live in Dallas - lots of pressure to look good here).
Usually (when I am not within a month of a trip to Miami with skinny girlfriends) I eat two full meals - lunch and dinner. I don't snack.
