Scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a special dish in university canteens, because there is no meat, but it is a meat dish. I asked my aunt why it is also a meat dish in the canteen. Aunt smiled and said, "eggs can hatch chickens." I've never eaten scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Although meat-free dishes are all meat dishes now, even if you eat all the chickens, ducks and geese in the Tang Dynasty, you won't treat them as meat.

Liuli, director of clinical nutrition department of Chongqing People's Hospital (Third Hospital), thinks that eggs should belong to meat. In terms of nutritional components, eggs are rich in saturated fatty acids and protein, and each 100g egg contains 12.8g protein, so protein is the main component of eggs, and protein in eggs is animal protein, which is different from plant protein. The human body can absorb more than 99% of protein in eggs, while the absorption rate of protein is much lower. Therefore, eggs must belong to meat: from the beginning, eggs developed on chickens, and chickens must belong to meat dishes. Therefore, if eggs belong to meat, then fried tomatoes and eggs belong to meat dishes, which depends on the number of eggs.

Yongzheng, the judge of the national kitchen, thinks that there is no meat in scrambled eggs, so many people think they are vegetarian, but in fact, eggs are raw chickens and can hatch chicks. At the same time, in nutrition, these eggs must belong to the meat and vegetable series.

Is scrambled eggs with tomatoes vegetarian or not? From the perspective of cooking, the number of tomatoes is usually more than that of eggs, and the price is usually slightly higher than that of ordinary vegetarian dishes, but slightly lower than that of ordinary meat dishes. Then it should belong to the series of meat dishes and meat dishes. Just like ants in trees and other famous dishes.
