 Overall, a monk at Westminster Abbey in the late 15th century would have been allowed of bread per day; 5 eggs per day, except on Fridays and in Lent; of meat per day, 4 days/week (excluding Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday), except in Advent and Lent; and of fish per day, 3 days/week and every day during Advent and Lent.This caloric structure partly reflected the high-class status of late Medieval monasteries in England, and partly that of Westminster Abbey, which was one of the richest monasteries in the country; diets of monks in other monasteries may have been more modest.The overall caloric intake is subject to some debate.
