People who don’t eat red meat but do eat chicken or fish are making a very important first step, but they aren’t vegetarians. We usually call such people meat-reducers.

one...they dont eat meat, or anything that came from animals...case closed
Well, there's veganism, which you seem to be familiar with. There are also ovo-vegetarians, lacto-vegetarians and ovo/lacto-vegetarians, meaning someone who eat eggs and egg products, dairy and dairy products or both.
There are those who say they're povo-vegetarians and pesco-vegetarians, (those who will eat poultry or fish/seafood) but I don't believe these are vegetarians at all. At best they are occasional or intermittent vegetarians.
Then within the general classification of vegetarian/vegan, you have raw food vegetarians (no cooking or heating above about 110 degrees F.) and fruitarians (only the fruit of a plant, in botanical terms...something that is designed to spread seeds, such as peppers and tomatoes and things we understand as culinary fruits and vegetables in general, but no stalks or leaves or roots.
There's not really types but there's vegan which don't eat anyh animal products at all (meat dairy etc). There's some who only eat fish or chicken. I don't know what their called. Personally I'm a vegetarian I don't eat any meat but we can ear eggs and other dairy products. And alsoto me if you still eat fish or chicken your NOT a vegetarian
1. A lacto-ovo vegetarian is a vegetarian who is willing to consume dairy products (i.e. milk and its derivatives, like cheese, butter, or yogurt) and eggs. Lacto means "milk" and ovo means "egg".
In the Western world lacto-ovo vegetarians are the most common type of vegetarian. Generally speaking, when one uses the term vegetarian a lacto-ovo vegetarian is assumed. Lacto-ovo vegetarians are well-catered to in restaurants and shops, especially in Europe and metropolitan cities in North America.
Some lacto-ovo vegetarians who are motivated by ethical reasons may avoid fertilized eggs as well as caviar, feeling that both involve the killing of beings or torture and exploitation of source animals. Most vegetarians motivated by ethics would only use "Free Range" eggs.
A lacto-ovo vegetarian usually doesn't eat poultry, meat or fish. However, cross-culturally, different cultures recognize vegetarianism differently. For example, there are many Japanese vegetarians consider fish to be vegetarian, and Indian vegetarians who consider eggs to be non-vegetarian.
In contrast, a vegetarian who consumes no animal products is called a vegan.
In the airline industry a lacto-ovo vegetarian meal is known by the acronym VLML.
2. A lacto vegetarian diet is a vegetarian diet that includes dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, cream, and kefir but excludes eggs. "Lacto" originates from the Latin word for milk. Within Indian culture this diet is often what is meant by the term vegetarian.
Lacto vegetarians choose to consume dairy products, but abstain from specifically eating eggs. Cheeses which include animal rennet and yoghurts which contain gelatin are also avoided. This diet may be adopted by vegetarians wishing to lower their cholesterol levels, in view of the high amount of cholesterol contained within egg yolks.
On ethical grounds, people might believe consuming eggs is the same as consuming animal flesh or potentially running the risk of killing an unborn/unhatched animal. Consuming dairy products does not involve killing animals, and when managed properly the calves are not denied an adequate supply of their mother's milk, and the human can still consume the excess milk for essential nutrients and vitamins.
This diet is popular with many followers of Eastern religious traditions, such as Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. It has also been popularised internationally since the 1960s by the Hare Krishna movement.
The greatest proportion of vegetarians such as those in India or those in the classical Mediterranean lands such as the Pythagoreans are or were lacto vegetarian.
3.Ovo vegetarians or colloquially Eggetarians are vegetarians who eat eggs but not meat or dairy products.
"Ovo" comes from the Latin word for egg. Pronunciation: /oe' voe/.
A common health reason for choosing this diet is lactose intolerance.
Ovo vegetarianism also has ethical grounds in that cows must have calves before giving milk; eating dairy thereby supports the meat industry through increasing the population of animals that cannot be sustained for any other purpose - in contrast, however, hens can lay eggs for human consumption without being fertilized or reproducing. (The common practice of keeping free-range hens in the backyard illustrates this, and also demonstrates that hens can be treated as pets rather than egg-laying machines.)
4.Veganism (also known as strict vegetarianism or pure vegetarianism), as defined by the Vegan Society, is "a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude―as far as is possible and practical―all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose." A vegan (one who practices veganism) does not consume or use animal products, notably meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products. People become vegans for a variety of reasons, including ethical concerns for animal rights or the environment, as well as supposed or real health benefits and spiritual or religious concerns
