Answers:
Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, and poultry. Vegans are vegetarians who abstain from eating or using all animal products, including milk, cheese, other dairy items, eggs, wool, silk, and leather. Among the many reasons for being a vegetarian are health, ecological, and religious concerns, dislike of meat, compassion for animals, belief in non-violence, and economics. The American Dietetic Association has affirmed that a vegetarian diet can meet all known nutrient needs. The key to a healthy vegetarian diet, as with any other diet, is to eat a wide variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Limit your intake of sweets and fatty foods.

if your vegan too no dairy products...........why dont you just eat what you want??
i would guess any products derived from animals...such as butter, cow milk...cheese......
you can't eat pig, cow, chicken, goat, or even duck, but you can eat omlets, or boiled eggs, if you want to be part vegatarion, but if you want to be full vegatar then don;t eat any meat at all including the meats i listed even egg.
anything that has to do with animals. like Milk, eggs. NO fish obviously.
That's entirely up to you, and depends on the reason you are choosing to go veg.
If you want no animal products at all (vegan), it is much harder. Animal products sneak into nearly everything, the worst culprit is gelatin, which is in a lot of foods you may be unaware of, and even some medicines. There are also some medicines/vitamins that contain shellfish.
Are you doing this for health reasons, or animal rights? Are you prepared to dismiss any leather and/or fur you may already have?
The most important thing is that it all depends on you. If you are looking for a strict vegan diet, you will be very limited in your dining-out options. You will also have to carefully read the ingredients on everything you purchase at the store.
Just go with what you are comfortable with, and make sure you are still getting all your essental vitamins and nutrients.
It has been working well for me for over 10 years.
well it depends on whatg knid of vegetarian you are ova vegetarian etc. if you eat eggs and dairy then you just dont eat meat. If you dont eat that then you just eat vegetables and foods containing no meat.
if ur vegan can't eat eggs cheese and any dairy what so ever but because ur not and only vegetarian u can have fish its up to u some wont hurt u can have dairy and eggs u can have bread vegettables fruits breads grains
If you know what kind of vegetarian you are by choosing from the types below, you will be able to know the answer to your question.
1) Pescatarian (also spelled pescetarian) They abstain from eating meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish. More and more people are adopting this kind of diet, usually for health reasons or as a stepping stone to a fully vegetarian diet.
2) Flexitarian/Semi-vegetarian : They consume mostly vegetarian diet, but occasionally eat meat.
3) Lacto-ovo Vegetarians: They do not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, but Do eat eggs and dairy products. "Lacto comes from the Latin for milk, and "ovo" for egg.
4) Lacto-ovo: They do not eat meat or dairy products but Do eat eggs.
5) Vegans: They do not eat meat of any kind and also do not eat eggs, dairy products, or processed foods containing these or other animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin.
6) Raw Vegans: They have a diet consisting of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celcius). They believe that foods cooked above this temperature have lost a lot of significant amount of their nutritional value and are harmful to the body.
7) Macrobiotic Vegans: They eat only unprocessed vegan foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and allows for the occasional consumption of fish. Sugar and refined oils are avoided.
are you for real?
no meat or fish if you're just a vegetarian. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
if you're talking about veganism then that's a different story.

nothing else to worry about besides meat unless you choose to become a vegan then there'd be lots to worry about!
