Lent is the forty days from Ash Wednesday to Easter. The Sundays are NOT part of the forty days. Therefore, there is no fasting on Palm Sunday or any Sunday during Lent.

Is Sunday a break from Lent?
It is true Sunday is a day when you can do or have what you gave up for Lent.Roman Catholic AnswerI'm not sure what you are asking when you ask if it is a "free" day, but Sundays are all feasts, one never fasts or abstains on a feast day, so if you are giving something up, then yes, you would be free of that obligation on any feast day. The Annunciation and St. Joseph's Day both usually fall in Lent and are both Solemnities, so if they fall on a Friday, that day would also not be a fast or abstinence day.
Can Catholics eat meat on Christmas?

Can you take paracetamol during a fasting session?
According to the rules of Ramadan, oral medications are not permitted during fasting hours, and it is up to each Muslim to determine what rules of Ramadan they particularly want to follow. There are no rules about medications like paracetamol during Christian Lenten fasting. According to the rules for Jewish fasting, a person may swallow bitter medicines in tablet, capsule or liquid form, but not if they are pleasant tasting or tasteless. The medicine must not be taken with water. If one cannot swallow the capsule or tablet without any liquid, he should use a bitter tasting liquid. (If the capsule or tablet will still be effective when mixed with water, this is a practical solution since such liquid is usually bitter tasting.) You can also consult a rabbi.

Also the is an obligation to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The Catholic notion of fasting is eating one full meal (10 oz.) and 2 small meals not to exceed the full meal.

If you are of the Baha'i Faith and your 15th birthday happens during the fasting period do you still fast for that year?
In that case you would begin fasting on your 15th birthday and not for the entire fast. Note that in this case, your birthday will be in the fasting period every year. As far as I know, there is no exemption in this case.
