Do we eat a seudah hamafsekes this year, as it's going to be Shabbos afternoon?
I'm sure we eat something, obviously before the fast we want to eat  but is it considered like a seudah hamafsekes, or just a regular meal? and can we make it into like a nice meal, invite people over for it and things like that?

This question came up in my family, and the answer was that there is no seuda mafsekes, only regular shalosh seudos. No eggs with ashes, but the meal has to end by shkiah.
I'd think we don't make it especially fun with a ton of especially invited guests. But we weren't talking about that.

seuda shlishis - but I think it has to end earlier then you would normally end.
Any ideas what to make?
I was leaning toward making the brown rice stew and meatballs in a crockpot posted on here because eating brown rice helps me fast. But my dh was nervous the meat may be too heavy, so I want to do brown rice and chicken. I just need a recipe.

You are permitted meat, wine, zmirot. It's still Shabbat.

The Mishna Brura (552:10) cautions that even though the halacha is that one may eat meat and drink wine and put on his table "afilu kisi'udas Shlomo bi'eis malchuso" - even so, he should sit sadly, "vilachein, lo yeisheiv bisiudas chaveirim" (and therefore should not sit in a meal with friends).
So I'd guess that nice things, yes, special company, no.

Sky, you can make a chicken and rice salad. (add lettuce, mayo, avocado.) I think anything in the crockpot will be heavy.

Wouldn't you want a heavy meal though, to "last longer" so to say? In my experience, eating lots of bread before a fast always helped me fast better. I actually also once saw an article or something about a study done on pre-fasting foods (like proteins vs carbs, and maybe there was a 3rd option, cant remember), and im pretty sure the conclusion was that it's best to eat a meal higher in carbs before a fast.

Carbs and fat together are good before a fast, I think.
I'd prefer a hot meal myself, but maybe not cholent.
