In the United States, by special dispensation, the faithful may choose another form of abstinence on Fridays outside of Lent. Abstinence is required for all who have attained their fourteenth year of age. Fasting is only required on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday for all of those who have completed their twenty-first year and up until the beginning of their sixtieth year. Fasting regulations in the church currently provide for only one full meal during the day, although some food may be taken at breakfast and a collation at lunch, although, together, the amount can not equal another full meal.
