Veggan diet

The veggan diet follows the same principles as a standard vegan diet — no meat, fish, dairy, or other animal-derived products — with one specific exception: eggs are permitted.

This distinguishes it from:

• Vegan — excludes eggs entirely
• Vegetarian — permits both eggs and dairy
• Pescatarian — permits fish, not necessarily eggs

For people who found dairy or meat easy to give up but rely on eggs for protein, texture, or cooking versatility, veggan offers a middle path that’s stricter than vegetarian but more flexible than vegan.
