Ash Wednesday (Feb. 21) and Good Friday (April 6) are days of fast and abstinence. Fasting means taking only one full meal and two lesser meals, with nothing to eat in between. Abstinence means not eating meat.From the St Louis Review
Catholics who are age 18 to 59 are obliged to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, unless there is a serious health reason.
All other Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence from meat, which applies to all people age 14 and older. Again, Catholics should not hold themselves lightly excused, but the obligation should not apply if there is a serious health problem.
