A. While fish, lobster and other shellfish are not considered meat and can be consumed on days of abstinence, indulging in the lavish buffet at your favorite seafood place sort of misses the point. Abstaining from meat and other indulgences during Lent is a penitential practice.

Does meat include chicken and dairy products? A. Abstinence laws consider that meat comes only from animals such as chickens, cows, sheep or pigs --- all of which live on land. Birds are also considered meat. Abstinence does not include meat juices and liquid foods made from meat. Thus, such foods as chicken broth, consomme, soups cooked or flavored with meat, meat gravies or sauces, as well as seasonings or condiments made from animal fat are technically not forbidden.

It is a really good source of protein if you are against eating meat. Also, you could become very very ill if you don't properly substitute other foods. Eggs are a good source of albumin. Without high enough levels of albumin in your system, you can become anemic and fatigued and also be considered malnourished. If you are going to avoid meat and their byproducts, be educated and aware.

Depends on how hard core of a vegan you ask. To most vegetarians, eggs are ok, because even though eggs are an animal byproduct, they are unfertilized and will never become a chick. To most vegans the eggs are not okay because they are an animal byproduct. Same goes for milk, even though the animal is going to produce the product anyway, it doesn't matter.

Certain rules of fasting and abstinence have changed in the intervening centuries, and eggs are not currently categorized as meat. We have found nothing in researching these and other religions to suggest that there is a divine reason for lumping eggs into the dairy category.

According to kashrut, or Jewish dietary laws, eggs may be eaten with dairy foods, so they are not meat. Eggs also may be eaten with meat, so they are not dairy. Some orthodox Hindus and some Jains do not eat eggs. Hare Krishnas and Brahmakumaris do not eat eggs.

Sent by Aimee. Aimee, this seems like a very subjective question! On the one hand, many vegetarians eat eggs without a second though; unless you are vegan, these usually fall into an otherwise meat-free diet. Unfertilized eggs have no way of becoming a chick, so it's not like you are eating a baby bird, in utero. On the other hand, these are indeed coming from a chicken, so some vegetarians aren't comfortable eating them.

In the vegetarian world, there is a special name  lacto-ovo vegetarian  for people who consume dairy products and eggs, but for most people (at least in Western cultures), the term vegetarian implies someone who eats fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, chocolate, eggs, and dairy products, but not meat or fish.
