What should you eat during Fasting for Lent in Eastern Orthodoxy?
The foods that you should abstain from (avoid) during Lent are all meats (eg. red meats, white meats and fish) and all dairy products (eg. cheese, eggs, milk). This applies to healthy persons. Persons who are elderly or sick are allowed to relax the Fasting rules, or not to follow them at all, depending on their person circumstances. Generally, a spiritual father would provide advice on what rules apply to individuals. All fruits, nuts and vegetables etc are permissible.
