Are eggs meat or vegetarian? I heard that monks can't eat them!
It should belong to meat for three reasons:

One, because eggs can develop into chickens, and chickens are meat, so eggs are also considered a meat dish.

Two, eggs belong to the category of poultry and eggs in the menu, and poultry is a meat dish, so eggs are also a meat dish, they belong to the same category.

Third, the distinction between meat and vegetables is to categorize plant foods as vegetarian dishes and animal foods as meat dishes, eggs are of course animal foods, so they are meat dishes. There is also corroborating evidence that vegetarian restaurants do not use eggs, so eggs are a meat dish.

Also, from Buddhist theory, eggs are classified as meat.

The Dzogchen Sutra's Treatise on Manifest Knowledge says, "First, touch birth: as when a man and a woman meet and have a child. Second, the smell of birth: such as cattle and sheep, male and female have desire, male nose sniffing female roots, then there will be children. Third, the sand birth: such as chickens and finches, etc., female desire, body dust and sand in the body and have eggs born children. Fourthly, sound-born: Cranes, peacocks, etc., where the female has desire and hears the male's song, she also lays eggs and gives birth to children. All those who produce eggs that are not edible also have children."

From this passage it is proved that all eggs are not to be eaten! Because, there are four forms of life, namely, fetal, oviparous, wet, and incarnate. And the egg is a sentient being that belongs to the oviparous, and as long as there is the form of an egg, there is a concrete and feeble life existing.
