Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence.

On a Fast day, one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to one's needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices are allowed.Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On day of abstinence, no meat is allowed.
