The answer is no. Maybe you misheard her, and she said she is a Veteranarian? A Veteranarian eats chicken, turkey, and veggies. They have also been known to dabble in beef, lamb, and fish. This would be 25% more plausible if the girl you mentioned is a blonde, watches the real life on MTV and loves Justin Timberlake.
There have also been a few reported cases where a veteranarian has declared themself a vegetarian, and nearly an equal number of cases where they have declared themselves a Vegan.
A new sublclass of vegetarians are called the Avian Vegetarian, which eat only avian meat and vegetables because they feel burgers are gross, fish smell funny, and pork is from pigs (Ewww, gross!). Little do they know that chickens are one of the filthiest animals, as well as the stupidest (a chicken will drown itself by looking up during a rain, and are so claustophobic, they are one of the few animals were a law has been written to allow them to be transported in "open caged" trucks).

No!!
How can you even wonder this? A vegetarian does not eat meat. However, Ive told people Im a vegetarian and then Id get asked if I eat chicken. What part of "I dont eat meat" is so hard to figure out?

Some people chicken and turkey to be seperate from meat, because they are poultry. However, vegetarian means you don't eat and flesh of animals and therefore she is not a vegetarian, she just doesn't eat red meat.
I only eat chicken, turkey, and salmon and I don't consider myself a vegetarian.

No. She's not a vegetarian. She's just too lazy to say to say she doesn't eat red meat.
For those who stated vegetarians only eat vegetables, they are as misinformed as our questioner's friend is. The veg in vegetarian comes from the Latin. Vegetus which is life or life force. Not vegetable. Eggs and milk are NOT vegetables. Nor are fruits or beans for that matter.

Um, no. She's not a vegetarian. Vegetarians don't eat meat. It's not rocket science.
Perhaps she is not eating red meat for health reasons - this does not make her a vegetarian.
Not even in Texas do we consider this to be vegetarian.

No.
But, "vegetarianism" is not a club where you sign an agreement and follow specific rules. Vegans will not eat or use any animal products. There are 'ovo-lacto' vegetarians who will eat eggs and milk and cheese. I eat fish, but consider myself a vegetarian, sort of - - it's very personal. I haven't had any chicken, beef or related products in 20 years. Generally, vegetarians don't want to be part of the demand that is supplied by cruelty. There is no reason for them to explain to you in detail what their diets are, really, it's just easier to say "I'm a vegetarian" and leave it at that. IMHO.

By definition, a vegetarian is someone who only eats vegetable matter, no meat. She probably just avoids red meat, which would still allow her to eat chicken and turkey, and possibly fish, but would not be a strict vegetarian

I read somewhere that there are many types of vegetarians.Some don't eat red meat but just fish or chicken.Others refuse any part of an animal including
butter or eggs.I believe a real vegetarian steers away from meat of any kind.

There is no "official" defination of what a vegetarian is. If she considers a vegetarian to someone who does not eat mammal meat, okay that's her defination - - - yours might be different.
Some come up with new words like "vegans" for those who eat certain kinds of foods.
In many or most countries there is a bureau of language. A group of college professors " correct" the language every year, Those in the "know" read the rules and spellings and use them.
English is left to drift. It has no official rules or spellings. Even in spelling bees the dictionary and the printing that will be used must be mentioned.
So, if your friend cares to label herself a vegetarian, go along with it. She is by her definition
