Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians:
Many people choose to diet lacto-ovo vegetarian style. Lacto-ovo is the most
popular vegetarian diet. A person can also be strictly a lacto-vegetarian (eating
milk products) or an ovo-vegetarian (eating eggs). A lacto-ovo vegetarian diet,
one that incorporates milk and egg products, can usually provide sufficient
protein, calcium, iron, and vitamin B12, which can all be concerns for any vegetarian.
Dairy products supply protein and are a good source of calories, as well as
calcium, vitamin B12, riboflavin, and vitamin D. On a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet
it can be easy to meet high calorie and protein needs with the use of foods
such as milkshakes, cream soups, cheeses, and commercial nutritional supplements.
Eggs are also a good source of protein as part of a vegetarian diet.
