What type of vegetarian would i be if i chose not to eat beef, chicken, or pork?

Question

im interested in being vegetarian-ish just for health. i love a good steak but i think ive had my fill of slabs of meat for the past 20 years. I would still eat eggs, seafood, & dairy. How can i replace the nutrients i would be losing. is it a matter of taking vitamins?

Answer 1

You wouldn't be a vegetarian, but anyhow... I'd advise you to eat plenty of dark green leafy vegetables (like spinach), nuts, at least a glass of milk every day, and free range eggs which are filled with good stuff.

Answer 2

You wouldn't be a vegetarian, since fish is meat. The term for that would be pescatarian. With that diet change, you're not really losing much of anything.

Answer 3

You would be considered a pescatarian (a person who does not eat any animal flesh with the exception of fish) that is if by eef, chicken, or pork you meant all meats (lamb horse deer bear dog rabbit...) if you just meant beef, chicken, or pork then you could be a Flexitarian

Answer 4

You would be no type of vegetarian.  Vegetarians don't eat seafood.  BUT, if you did stick to a healthy diet (seafood or not) you would not be losing any nutrients.  There is nothing in meat that can't be found in elsewhere.

Answer 5

Vegetarian is ok, even if you do it 90% of the time...it'll definitely be healthy.  There are some nutrients in meat that aren't in some dairy...but if you eat eggs, seafood, some nut stuff, and your greens, then you're covered.  Tuna has tuns of protien.

You definitely don't NEED to take vitamins, if you're eating the above stuff.

Don't let people stress you out, or mislead you...being vegetarian is easy, healthy and not a big deal.  It's become so popular that most restaurants totally cater to vegetarians by at least putting a veggie section in their menus, or offering alternatives.   No sweat.

Answer 6

You will be called a "Vegan" who doesn't eat meat, poultry, seafood and all food products that comes from an animal. There are many sources of protein in the vegetable kingdom.

Answer 7

If you're eating animals (including sea life) you would not be a vegetarian at all.  The term "pescetarian" is used to describe people who don't eat any meat except for seafood; it's not a type of vegetarian, though, just a descriptive term to describe a more limited omnivorous diet.

You won't be losing any nutrients.  Everything you need can be gotten on a plant-based diet.  The addition of dairy, eggs and seafood is just more sources of nutrition.

Answer 8

There are no nutrients in beef, pork and poultry that are not in eggs, dairy and seafood. Unless you absolutely have to label yourself I would just say, "I don't eat meat".

Answer 9

Pescatarians do not eat animals that have legs, So  if you eat seafood you are not vegetarian

Answer 10

You would be a pescatarian:)

Answer 11

You would be a person who doesn't enjoy the taste of beef, chicken, or pork.

Answer 12

You would be a "non-vegetarian" until you dropped the seafood and eating a balanced diet will supply you all of the nutrients you need. Beans, especially soy, have the proteins you need and green leafy veges are rich in iron. If you have difficulty consuming a healthy diet all of the time, for whatever reasons, take a multi-vitamin during those times.

Since when are eggs not considered vegetarian? Eggs are vegetarian as they are not fertilized.
