A vegetarian is generally defined as someone who typically avoids eating animal flesh (poultry, meat and fish).
Some vegetarians eat dairy products as well as eggs, but others avoid them. A diet without dairy items and egg is more of a vegan diet.
vegetarian diets do have health advantages because they are typically high in fiber and low in saturated fats. Appropriately planned vegetarian diets, and vegan diets (according to The American Dietetic Association), can meet the nutritional needs of infants, children, and teenagers... and they can aid normal growth. The emphasis is obviously on the words "appropriately planned."
My blog is to help people with healthy special diets including gluten free eating, a Paleo diet, vegetarian, vegan and other healthy eating options.
