Hello guys I'm a maithil and if you don't know , we maithils follow shaktism therefore eating non veg is very common in our family. But fortunately, both my mom and dad have stopped eating meat even before I was born . Now the thing is that I lack protein full diet since I do not have a big appetite to eat alot of protein stuffs from vegetables . My mom suggested that I should start taking eggs . I also asked few other people who follow sanatani , some said it's okay since it's veg ( idk how eggs are considered veg ) and some said they can't sacrifice their health rn . Some said it's tamasic .
Infact , I took a big decision few days ago and decided to never try meat ( I have tried meat thrice since in our funerals , goat sacrifice is a practice) . I feel guilty for even trying meat but now I'm moving forward to be a better human and a sanatani . The only problem is that due to lack of protein , my bones r not strong enough and even my doctor suggested that I should eat non vegetarian food .
So now I have two questions
Are eggs vegetarian?
Should I eat them or not considering the fact that I'm now trying to follow sanatan and pray Mantras and rituals ?
