# Strict halacha permits one to eat an amount that’s normal for a weekday meal, however, one should refrain from beginning a meal which is normal for a weekday meal from the beginning of the tenth hour ([[Shaot Zmaniot]]) in the day. <ref> The Gemara Pesachim 107b establishes that the mishna which forbids meals on Erev Shabbat or Erev Yom Tov is from a half hour before Mincha Ketana, which is nine and a half hours into the day. Shulchan Aruch O.C. 249:2 writes that halachically it’s permissible to have a meal the whole day because we hold like Rabbi Yose in Pesachim 98b. However, even Rabbi Yose agrees that it is a mitzvah not to establish a meal after the beginning of the ninth hours. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 72:10 agrees.</ref> | |||
# In the winter months when the [[Shaot Zmaniot]] (halachic hours) are short one should refrain from having a meal too close to [[Shabbat]] so that if one has a meal one will still have an appetite going into [[Shabbat]]. <ref> Mishna Brurah 249:16 </ref> | # In the winter months when the [[Shaot Zmaniot]] (halachic hours) are short one should refrain from having a meal too close to [[Shabbat]] so that if one has a meal one will still have an appetite going into [[Shabbat]]. <ref> Mishna Brurah 249:16 </ref> | ||

# One should not make a meal for an engagement party on Friday. <ref>Shulchan Aruch 249:2 writes that one should not make a feast even for an engagement which is a seudat mitzvah. However, the Mishna Brurah 249:9 writes that this is only true if the engagement took place on a different day however, if the engagement actually took place on Friday the feast may be held. Nonetheless, the Mishna Brurah concludes that the engagements that we perform nowadays are not halachically binding as they were in the times of the gemara and so it's not considered a seudat mitzvah which would permit a feast on Friday. </ref> | # One should not make a meal for an engagement party on Friday. <ref>Shulchan Aruch 249:2 writes that one should not make a feast even for an engagement which is a seudat mitzvah.
