Fasting means no food Fr.John Zuhsldorf

FASTING: Catholics who are 18 year old and up, until their 59th birthday (when you begin your 60th year), are bound to fast (1 full meal and perhaps some food at a couple points during the day, call it 2 “snacks”, according to local custom or law – call it, two snacks that don’t add up to a full meal) on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.- Fr. John Zuhlsdorf 1

fast (1 full meal and perhaps some food at a couple points during the day, call it 2 “snacks”, according to local custom or law – call it, two snacks that don’t add up to a full meal) 

This is abstinence. It is not fasting.This is the USCCB liberal interpretation of fasting approved by the Vatican.

For me it means no food during Ash Wednesday.
