Answer 1

What you can eat depends on what type of Vegetarian you are. The main types are listed below. Some people call themselves Veggie's if they eat fish, but this is not the case, as you can see below. If Vegetarians do eat eggs, they usually use free-range eggs. Those that eat cheese will only eat Vegetarian Cheese, as some cheeses are made using rennet from a cow's stomach. More and more cheeses are using a Vegetarian alternative to this. I personally am a Octo-Lacto Vegetarian. Congrats on your decision to go vegetarian. Not only are you saving animals you are greatly improving your health. Bravo!

Octo-Lacto Vegetarian (The most popular definition, also known as Ovo-Lacto)
Vegetarians eat no red meat, poultry, fish, or products that have ingredients which are animal-based such as Gelatine. They do eat Vegetarian cheese, yoghurt, milk, eggs, honey etc. They also don't wear leather or fur.
Lacto Vegetarian
Lactose-Vegetarians do not eat any foods that involve the slaughter of animals. They don't eat eggs, but do eat Vegetarian cheese, yoghurt, and milk.
Vegan
Vegans do not eat the same things as vegetarians but also will not eat any product that is derived from animals. No meat, cheese, butter, milk, eggs or honey.
Demi-Vegetarian (commonly misinterpreted as Vegetarian by meat-eaters)
Demi-Vegetarians don't eat red meat or poultry, but they do eat fish, eggs, Vegetarian cheese, and milk-based products. This is not true Vegetarianism, although it is probably easiest for those just starting to become Veggie.
Fruitarian
A Fruitarian is somebody who believes that you should not kill any living thing to survive. Instead, they can only eat the fruit of plants that don't actually mean death to the plant. This is actually true believe it or not!

Answer 2

Yes, many vegetarians eat eggs-vegans dont. Eat whatever you enjoy-dont try to fit into a perfect little label. My 12 year old veggie daughter loves her eggs. I would eat them but am allergic. Enjoy your feast!

Answer 3

It is totally up to you. If you are a vegan, then you cannot eat eggs. If you are a vegetarian, then it is up to you to decide what you want to cut out and what you want to eat.

I myself try to avoid eggs, but if they are in something, like bread, then I will eat it. I just don't go and fry up and egg to eat.

Congrats on joining the veggie club!

Answer 4

yes you can unless you are trying to be a vegan, vegans do not eat any animal byproduct like cheese or milk. So yes you may eat egg

Answer 5

Some "vegetarians" will eat eggs and fish and other diary products whereas vegans will not eat any type of animal product or by-product. It just depends in what type of vegetarian you are. In which case, I think you should do some research before deciding to become one.
