lattoovovegetariane

Lattoovovegetariane is a coined term that some sources use to denote a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. Such a diet excludes meat, fish, and seafood but includes dairy products and eggs. The form is not standard in nutrition literature and is commonly regarded as a misspelling or portmanteau of lacto-ovo vegetarian.

The name appears to fuse elements such as dairy (lacto-) and eggs (ovo-) with the label vegetarian. It is not widely adopted in mainstream discussions, and most references adhere to the established terms lacto-vegetarian, ovo-vegetarian, or lacto-ovo vegetarian.

Lattoovovegetariane prescribes plant-based foods alongside dairy and eggs. Typical foods include milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. It excludes red meat, poultry, fish, and seafood. Some cuisines adapt the pattern with regional dairy and egg choices.

The diet can provide high-quality protein through dairy and eggs, and a wide range of micronutrients from plant foods. Important nutrients to monitor include vitamin B12, iron, calcium, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids. Most people obtain B12 from dairy and eggs; fortification or supplements are rarely required but may be advised for long-term adherence or specific medical needs.

Lacto-ovo vegetarian patterns are common worldwide, especially in Western diets. The specific term lattoovovegetariane remains uncommon and may reflect spelling variation rather than a distinct dietary tradition.
