    I have went through these sorta prepper type diets. Like trying to determine the minimal number of foods to meet requirements. Now there are certain things that without you are in trouble in weeks or months but when you start looking at things that mess you up over years its complex but eggs and milk easily cover that kind of stuff. since indian vegetairans are fine with dairy this makes it much easier.

      Indian vegetarians don’t eat eggs. And in middle income to lower income families 500ml milk between 4-5 ppl.

        I meant milk or eggs as a supplement in general when looking at diet. Both together will be stronger but they have a lot of overlap. Its not strictly necessary but when looking for fewest items they ended up covering a lot of bases. It is why I specified dairy with indian vegetarians in the last sentence because I thought someone might mistake I was mentioning eggs in relation to indians. It really does not require much because again these are things that take years to really cause any issue. Another that is almost better is fatty fish, especially if you eat the bone or use it in broth. I hate fish though which kinda stinks. Well that and the way we poisoned the oceans so much you actually have caution about eating to much of some kinds of fish.

        Yes eggs are considered non-veg in India. But many Indians in America don’t have a problem eating eggs if they’re in cakes, breads, muffin, etc. It’s mostly eatings eggs by itself or scrambled eggs.
