I know on Ash Wednesday, you're only supposed to eat 1.5 meals, and no snacking between meals. But on a regular basis, I eat 1.5 meals a day and don't snack. Am I required to eat even less than I usually do?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi DT,
No you are not required to, but it is encouraged that you take upon your own account to make an equivelent sacrifice. The 1.5 meals rule is more of a general guide to help people make a small sacrifice for God.
Blessings,

Technically, you could eat one really big meal so that your two other normal meals wouldn't add up to the one meal, but this misses the spirit of the penance.
If you normally eat according to the fasting guidelines, you don't have to eat less, but you might want to anyway.
