Wednesday and Firday fasting

What are you actually supposed to eat, if at all. I know its not about the food itself but I just can't really what are you actually permitted to eat

anything without meat, dairy, alcohol or oil are good to go! I do salads, soups, bread, noodles and the like. but if there's a bit of cheese in something don't worry about it. We're not jewish, having a small bit of the good stuff on fasting days isn't the end of the world.

Just eat vegan on fast days.

I assume you're talking about Eastern Orthodox fasting rules?
Normally the following are forbidden on the strict fast (which is the one done on Wednesday and Friday):
- meat from animals that have a spine (so it includes fish but not mollusks for instance)
- dairy
- olive oil (can be extended to mean all oils)
- wine (can be extended to mean all alcoholic beverages)

Muslims are monotheist too, are you going to drop that doctrine?

Note that this is on top of abstaining from things you are controlled by. Don't stuff yourself on candy and dark chocolate and think you're fasting this way. My priest adds "no sugary food" to the list for instance.

Also, I forgot to add - it is one meal in the day, although eating food in small quantities is tolerated during the day but it must not be the equivalent of a full meal AFAIK.

I thought fasting was just Friday
