"Latin Rite Catholics from age 18 up through to the beginning of their 60th year (their 59th birthday) are required to fast, unless they have a serious reason for not doing so. According to Pope Paul VI's apostolic constitution Paenitemini, "The law of fasting allows only one full meal a day, but does not prohibit taking some food in the morning and evening, observing--as far as quantity and quality are concerned--approved local custom." (Paenitemini, ch. III., III., 2).
It's often thought that a person can have one full meal and two "lesser meals" that cannot add up to a full meal. But Paenitemini doesn't require us to weigh up food to make sure it doesn't equate to a full meal. The point is, only one full meal is allowed, and one can take some food two other times on that day. Liquids such as juice, coffee, tea, or milk do not technically violate the fast, although refraining from ingesting any animal products such as milk is virtuous."
anyone interested?
Fasting and Abstinence - Easter / Lent - Catholic Online
For most people the easiest practice to consistently fulfill will be the traditional one, to abstain from meat on all Fridays of the year. Fasting and abstinence allows us to empty ourselves so we can be filled with the Lord.
