Is Chow Mein veggies and meat with crunchy noodles?

Answer:
Lo = soft, Chow = crunchy.
Lo mein are boiled noodles and chow mein are fried noodles (actually boiled then fried).

Either can be made with meat or vegatables or both.
Lo Mien is made with noodles and Chow Mien is vegetables.
lo mein soft noodles
chow mein crunchy noodles
Here is a description and recipes showing which are prepared with veggies, chicken, beef etc.:

It has to do with how the noodles are prepared.
Lo mein are prepared with crunchy noodles; basically fried noodle with broth on top and chow mein is served with a softer noodle. Both are served with veggies and meat.
