Technically no — eggs are not meat. Meat comes from animal muscle tissue, while eggs are reproductive cells (unfertilized ones, in the case of commercial eggs). That said, eggs are definitely an animal product and a great source of protein, which is why some vegetarians eat them but vegans don't.

Scientifically, no. Meat is defined as the flesh of an animal, while unfertilized eggs are reproductive byproducts. However, the classification varies across dietary, nutritional, and cultural lines
