Answer 2

Eggs are a protien, and therefore fall under the "meat and meat alternatives" food group!

Answer 3

Eggs come under the "meats and protein" group.

Answer 4

Eggs are classed in Dairy for some reason

Chicken is classed in Poultry

Answer 5

I think eggs are referred to as protein in most diets especially weight watchers

Answer 6

All fruits are fruit and vegetables. A "vegetable" is a plant, any part of which can be used for food.

Answer 7

In the superstore, fruits are usually picked out far too soon. Some are rocks, many are wrong. Some of the fruit and vegetables are generally right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.

Answer 8

Mainly dairy but i have heard them classified as meat

Answer 9

surprisingly it comes under dairy - though you could still eat them if you were not allergic to them, but allergic to cow's milk, cheese etc.

They are also a good source of calcium, protein.
