Since when is that a popular belief? I have literally never heard anyone Christian/Catholic or otherwise claim that meat is forbidden for practitioners of the religion.
At least for Catholics lent is the only period meat and pork ("red meats") were advised not to be eaten because of past century traditions. Fish and chicken ("white meats") are fine. Even today that tradition still exist, however it has been 15 or so years Catholic church advises is not longer necessary. It can be replaced by not doing any other luxury you enjoy as a small sacrifice and an imitation of that time Jesus crossed the desert.
