Eggetarian questions, answered
Can vegetarians eat eggs?
Yes. A vegetarian who eats eggs is called an ovo-vegetarian, or informally an eggetarian. Store-bought eggs are unfertilized and contain no animal flesh, so most definitions of vegetarianism include them.
What is an eggetarian?
An eggetarian is a vegetarian who eats eggs but no meat, fish or poultry. The term is especially common in India, where it appears on menus and food labels nationwide.
How much protein is in one egg?
One large egg contains about 6.3 grams of complete protein — 3.6g in the white and 2.7g in the yolk — along with choline, vitamin B12 and vitamin D.
How many eggs can I safely eat per day?
For most healthy people, 1-3 whole eggs per day is well within safe limits based on current research. People eating mostly egg whites can consume more since whites contain no cholesterol.
Are eggs good for building muscle?
Yes. Egg protein is the scientific reference for quality — it contains all nine essential amino acids including leucine, which directly triggers muscle protein synthesis after training.
How long do boiled eggs last in the fridge?
Boiled eggs keep up to one week refrigerated in their shell, or 3-4 days once peeled. Store them in a sealed container to prevent odor absorption.
