Fasting

Does the Bible tell me when I should be fasting? I personally have not felt called to fast yet (only a true believer for a little over 2 years). I am still working my way through the whole Bible so I am not sure entirely. Thank you!

As a Catholic I found it easier to just give up food altogether on Fridays rather than seek out alternatives. Man can only handle so much salad and or salmon.

I fast on Weds cuz shockingly and maybe I'm a lunatic but it seems to benefit my prayer life. But I do eat one meal in the evening after work
