I've also heard it in relation to not eating meat, not eating candy and not eating various other categories of food. Never have I heard it in a meaning of not consuming anything at all, however.

- newnewpdro 7y agoMaybe it's common in a religious context? Fasting meaning abstinence from food is fairly well-established. Breakfast is literally break-fast, with the fasting period being overnight while you slept.
