I think eating "plainer" meals (simple meals) accomplishes many of the same things.
I know a Catholic family who during Lent this year did all their cooking from scratch, serving meals like bean soup and fresh bread. They donated the savings to a local food bank.
I know a number of people who would be unhappy with that amount of carbs in a meal, but that's just an example. One could also serve a portion of marinated flank steak over a bed of lettuce, plus a piece of fruit and water to drink . . .
