Fast are a part of the Hebrew culture and the practice of Worshipping God that the apostles followed. The nation of Israel did not always have more than enough.

Isaiah 58:5 KJV Is it such a fast that I have chosen ? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
