You can have milk, water, fruits. Typically for fasts, we avoid cooked food like rice or pulses, no meat, eggs, and no onions and garlic.
That being said, I think what matters most is having a "clean heart" during fasts. I don't think it helps to only be thinking of I can't eat xyz, I'm hungry, so my personal belief has always been define what fast means for you and follow it... I'd say your friend can fast in a way that works best for her/him.
