Found this by Pope Paul VI here (under chapter III): ewtn.com/library/papaldoc/p6paen.htm
  1. The law of fasting allows only one full meal a day, but does not prohibit taking some food in the morning and evening, observing—as far as quantity and quality are concerned—approved local custom.
IV. To the law of abstinence those are bound who have completed their 14th year of age. To the law of fast those of the faithful are bound who have completed their 21st year and up until the beginning of their 60th year.

Is this still in effect? Does the one full meal have to be at noon, or can it be any time of the day? I thought fasting was for those who were 18 to 60, not 21 to 60?

The one full can be at any time during the day. The other two smaller meals together cannot add up to the one full meal.
