Eggs aren't beans are though, think of green beans.

no there protein

no for it to be a veg it needs to grow like a plant

no they are not but some professionals count beans as one of your 5 a day fruit & veg

Vegetables grow, so beans yes........eggs??? No..

Do eggs grow on chickens?? NO, therefore they are not vegetables, they are actually considered dairy if I am not mistaken.

Yeaaa of course,they grow on eggplants.

Eggs are eggs, not a vegetable.
Beans are a vegetable, classed as legumes.

No, I think they're protein.

eggs no which type of bean thou?

No, it isn't. It comes out of a chicken, it doen't grow.... Didn't you know that? ? honestly?

No they are a protein. They don't grow from a plant. They are produced by hens.

Neither is a vegetable in the dietary sense. Beans are legumes (vegetable protein) where vegetables in the diet (corn, broccoli, lettuce, etc.) are not proteins. Eggs are an animal based protein.

Eggs no, beans are classed as legumes, but could count as veg.

Yes, think about it..they come from the chickens butt. Beans will eventually come from yours.

Eggs are from chickens and other birds and contain protein.
Beans are grown on a plant and contain protein.
That is their only similarity.
Neither is MEAT

No...and don't eat too many eggs as they're high in cholesterol. As they come out of a chicken's jacksey they are certainly not vegatables ....
Beans are vegatables and could be eaten by a chicken...best not to feed them baked beans though otherwise you might get hit by a high speed egg...

No. They are an animal product. Vegetables are plant products.

Beans can be considered "vegetables" because they are a plant product, but there are many classifications (and many types of beans.)

Lentils and legumes are usually classed as "starchy" vegetables, along with potatoes and corn. Most nutrition plans will not consider them as part of your recommended servings per day. They really affect the body more like bread than like a vegetable.

eggs come from chickens or even ducks.
beans are pulses, not like a heartbeat though,.
The baked bean is a variety called haricot bean, but there are loads of other types, ie, black eyed peas (are beans) , mung beans, kidney beans, black beans, as in your black bean sauce from the curry house.

vegetables are grown in the ground, and although eggs and beans are classed as vegetarian food, it does not make them vegetables

Eggs No
Beans Yes

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
AHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?

eggs are considered dairy,
beans are legumes, so yeah veggies.

No there are not.

all animal life begins as an egg but before it can develop as an animal the egg needs to be fertilised first this can be done several ways but it requires a male to deposit sperm or milt as it is known in fish and amphibians and the sperm/milt needs to penetrate the egg for it to develop into whatever type of animal it will become.
so an egg is of animal origin and therefore not vegetate in nature.
whilst plant life have seeds and pollen and spores not eggs

No unfortunatly not. They are mostly protein, so still good for you yay :)

beans and lentils are one of your 5 a day as a vegetable because of the high vitamin b content but it doesn't matter how many varieties you eat they only count for 1 serving for example if you had baked beans for breakfast and cannelloni beans for dinner then you count both types as 1. Eggs are from birds or possibly fish (at least I hope the type you are talking about are).

If you are asking because of an interest in a vegetarian diet you could rationalise eggs by saying they are not yet fertilised and therefore not 'living' as an animal. (Of course plants 'live' as well but you see what I mean)
