FASTING & ABSTINENCE GUIDELINES FOR LENT

The law of fasting permits one full meal and two lighter meals in the course of a day. Snacks between meals are not  permitted. The law of abstinence prohibits the eating of meat. (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC] 1438, 2043). Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday by all who have celebrated their 18 ^th birthday, but not their 60 ^th birthday.
Abstinence from meat is to be observed on Ash Wednesday, on all Fridays of Lent and on Good Friday by all who have celebrated their 14^th birthday.

Who is NOT obligated to Fast and Abstain during Lent? 

Pregnant women and people who suffer illness are not obligated to fast. Others who feel that they are not able to observe the laws of fasting and abstinence should consult with a parish priest. “Fasting and abstinence are forms of penance. These and other forms of penance can lead to interior change of the heart and spiritual growth.” (CCC 1434-1437)
