Because eggs are an animal byproduct, just like milk, many people catagorize eggs as dairy. However, dairy is very specifically designated as the byproduct of the mammary glands of mammals like cows or goats. Essentially dairy is any milk or milk-made product, such as butter or ice-cream.
However, eggs are not meat either. Eggs are the fetal form of a mature animal, and are considered their own entity in and of themselves, than meat. Eggs are eggs and meat is meat.

The answer above is both right and wrong. I'm sure the asker was wanting a food group, and eggs are not a food group. They are protein, the food group with meat IN it. But everything else is correct

If you are: Vegan: You consume no meat, fish, dairy or eggs, in fact anything that is an animal or has come from an animal you avoid. Vegetarian: You consume no meat or fish, but can eat both eggs and dairy as they are not a creature they are a produce of the animal. Pescetarian: This is someone who will not eat meat, but will eat fish, eggs and dairy.
An ovo vegetarian is somewhat rare. They do not consume meat or dairy, but do consume eggs. The majority of the veg community are either vegetarian (consumes dairy & eggs) or vegan (no dairy or eggs). If someone is an ovo vegetarian, they probably have a dairy intolerance.

My best advice is to do research before you starting removing meat from your diet. I know several people who accidentally got sick because they tried to live off of potato chips and celery. Research different meal idea, recipes, meat replacements, and benefits of vegetarianism. Next, decide what's in/out. Ovo-vegetarian: eats eggs but meat, fish, dairy, poultry is out Lacto-vegetarian: eats dairy products but meat, fish, eggs, and poultry is out Lacto-ovo-vegetarian: eats eggs and dairy products but no meat, fish, or poultry Pesce-vegetarian: eats fish, eggs, and dairy but not meat or poultry Good luck!
