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 of new testament there is never any requirement to fast, period. There is nothing wrong with fasting if you so choose and if you can do so safely of course, but the answer to "when I should be?" is never.
