There are different types of vegetarian:
Lacto-ovo-vegetarians eat both dairy products and eggs; this is the most common type of vegetarian diet.
Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy products but avoid eggs.
Vegans do not eat dairy products, eggs, or any other products which are derived from animals.
Eggs: Many lacto-ovo vegetarians will only eat free-range eggs.This is because they believe that the intense farming of hens by farmers is cruel. Through its Vegetarian Society Approved trade mark, the Vegetarian Society only endorses products containing free-range eggs.
I plan on focusing on the lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet.
In the Western world lacto-ovo vegetarians are the most common type of vegetarian. Generally speaking, when one uses the term ‘vegetarian’ a lacto-ovo vegetarian is assumed. Lacto-ovo vegetarian meals are usually easily found in Europe and cities in North America. In the airline industry, a lacto-ovo vegetarian meal is known by the acronym VLML (for Vegetarian, Lacto-ovo MeaL).
Lacto-ovo vegetarianism is often motivated by ethics, since eggs and dairy products do not directly require the slaughter of animals. Furthermore, both dairy cattle and egg-laying hens are slaughtered when they leave the period of peak productivity, which is typically much shorter than their natural lifespan.
Religion
Many Seventh-day Adventists or Yi Guan Dao followers are lacto-ovo vegetarians. For over 130 years, Seventh-day Adventists have recommended a vegetarian diet which may include milk products and eggs. Not all Lacto-ovo Vegetarians choose to embrace this diet because of religion, though. A lot of the time its for health reasons, or animal rights.

Here is a food pyramid of a lacto-ovo-vegetarians diet.
