On days of abstinence, meat may not be used at all. Fast — Catholics over 18 and up to the beginning of their 60th year are bound to the obligation of fasting. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are the days of fasting. On these days, only one full meal is allowed.

Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and fruit juice are allowed.
