Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory
days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In
addition, Fridays during Lent are
obligatory days of abstinence [not eating meat]. ...[T]he norms on fasting are obligatory
from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person is
permitted to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may
also be taken, but not to equal a full meal. The norms concerning
abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin
Catholic Church from age 14 onward.
