Ya, I had heard that the good stuff in eggs outweighs the "bad" stuff. Especially for someone on a "no meat" vegetarian diet, an egg is a good source of low calorie protein. Depending on the egg size, it's what... 60-80 calories?

If he's asking questions to pescetarians as well, I'd assume fish is still on the menu. A can of tuna fish is like 100 calories and 26g of protein. An egg is around 70 calories and 6g of protein. Assuming you limit the amount of tuna you eat each week so as to not kill yourself from mercury poisoning (just eat it every other day or so), fish is a much better source of protein than eggs.

Edit: Heck, if there's still dairy involved, just make protein shakes to make up for the loss of protein from meat. A scoop or two of that will give you like 40g of protein at about 250 calories.

I switch it up between tuna and boiled eggs for a couple days during my morning breakfast. I usually end up with 4-6 eggs per week. And a couple cans of Tuna.
