The Puranas and Gauranga Mahaprabhu recommend sunrise to sunrise after the Ekadasi tithi starts before Brahma-muhurta. So in some cases the fast actually falls on Dvadasi, which is then called Mahadvadasi and produces an even greater effect. When there are two Amavasyas in the same month, again Mahadvadasi is recommended. You can calculate the exact dates for the whole year for any location with this small program: http://www.iskcon.com/downloads/vcal401.zip > I am fasting > from exact beginning till ending time, and ending with half water half > milk. Best wishes, Bojan If you fasted completely, without even fruits or vegetables, it is a good way to break the fast. At least one little grain is good to take for breaking the fast. The above program also gives the proper times for breaking the fast -- it begins with sunrise, but sometimes ends after a short period.
