During Lent, Catholics are expected to fast by eating only one full meal a day and two smaller meals that do not add up to a full meal. They are also asked to abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all Fridays during Lent. Additionally, Catholics are encouraged to give up something meaningful to them as a form of personal sacrifice during this season of penance and reflection.
