ovovegetariër

An ovovegetarian is a type of vegetarian who consumes eggs but abstains from consuming meat, poultry, and fish. This dietary pattern is a subset of vegetarianism, distinguished by the inclusion of eggs in an otherwise plant-based diet. Ovovegetarians typically include a wide range of fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds in their meals, along with eggs as a significant source of protein and other nutrients. This diet is a conscious choice for many, often motivated by ethical concerns regarding animal welfare, environmental sustainability, or health benefits associated with reduced consumption of animal products. Some may choose this diet as a transition towards a more restrictive form of vegetarianism or veganism, while others may find it to be a sustainable and enjoyable long-term eating pattern. The nutritional profile of an ovovegetarian diet can be well-balanced, provided attention is paid to obtaining sufficient iron, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are more commonly found in animal products.
