Do you consider eggs protein or dairy? This topic was discussed in my one college class. Some people said eggs are a protein since people eat them for the protein if they exercise.

Definetly protein.. Eat enough of them, and you'll be blowing people away to a distant planet.

Protein. Eggs contain significant protein, but the clincher is that dairy products are considered to be milk based products.

....How in bloody hell are eggs dairy? Because they're in a similar section in a store? "A dairy is a business enterprise established for the harvesting of animal milk mostly from cows or goats, but also from buffalo, sheep, horses or camels for human consumption." Therefore, from that description, we can assume milk and milk products are considered dairy. Chickens cannot be milked. They cannot be considered anything close to dairy. I would personally go and ask for your tuition back if a person supposed to be educating you actually poised this question. It's not debatable, there is one answer and that's it.

Eggs are poultry. They just have protein in them or rather they're composed of protein.

Hint, there's a reason why it's cheap. You get what you pay for in terms of college education. That's why top surgeons didn't go to community college.

This must have been one of those west coast "liberal arts" colleges... because no one who has ever been on a farm would think cows lay eggs.

Protein and dairy are not mutually exclusive...

And no, eggs are not a milk product.

When you eat a cow, you are considered a dairy.

So a teacher at a college was taking part in an argument about whether eggs were a milk product or not? Or was it just the students?

Either way.... wow....

It's not a milk derivative so it's not dairy however the groups aren't mutually exclusive.

To Orthodox Jews, they're dairy because they should not be consumed with meat; this is a dietary concern.. To everyone else, they should be considered protein.

No, to Jews they are not dairy. There are kosher restrictions on eating eggs, but that does not mean that they are considered dairy.

I apologise, you're right. Just searched to confirm. My family didn't describe it that way, though. Meh, whatever.
