I think it really depends on your goal and your starting point and your overall diet and macros. It will be hard to reach agreement here between people. My first reaction is no but maybe not everyday, maybe several times a week? But my goal is low PUFA, vibrant health, not low, low PUFA. Low, low PUFA goal people will say yes too much. Even Peat has said he eats one (or was it two?) eggs a day.4 eggs a day too much from PUFA standpoint? Im balancing them with 30g of coconut oil at same meal. Total daily PUFA intake is between 4-5g, and SAFA intake is between 70-90g.
What u guys think?
I eat this much occasionally and mix with butter, sautéed mushrooms and/green bell pepper, and drink an 8ounce glass of fresh OJ and have NEVER had a problem.@Dobbler

I think this PUFA avoidance obsession is distracting too much from the real problems. With a hormonal imbalance, like excessive estrogen, it seems even saturated fats can become unsaturated in the body. And if your metabolism and hormonal balance is good, the PUFAs will be metabolized and kept away from the mitochondria. While PUFA may be slightly "estrogenic" in themselves, they are much less estrogenic than, say, eating a small slice of unripe fruit
If the overall diet isn't very high in fat, the discussion of keeping PUFA under a certain number of grams per day isn't useful at all, and doesn't really make a noticeable difference in health. In my opinion.
The real question about the eggs is: won't that many eggs stimulate too much insulin? Insulin in excess can be estrogenic, regardless of PUFA
For a while, the vitamin A is very important, and the PUFA isn't crucial in the short term, so 2 or 3 eggs would be o.k., though in the longer run it's good to eat liver about twice a month, limiting the daily eggs to one or two.
What about quail eggs? Have understood that they are in many way different in their nutritional qualities as well as effects on metabolism(?).I eat this much occasionally and mix with butter, sautéed mushrooms and/green bell pepper, and drink an 8ounce glass of fresh OJ and have NEVER had a problem.
Ray says he needs lots of OJ with eggs. Again to my point above: depends, what is starting point? How is health of liver? How are the combined? Etc.
Interesting @Simba1992, I have never tried them. Might be worth examining.What about quail eggs? Have understood that they are in many way different in their nutritional qualities as well as effects on metabolism(?).
I used to eat over 20 eggs a day. Many athletes consume large quantities of eggs; i.e the stereotypical bodybuilder drinking a glass of raw eggs.4 eggs a day too much from PUFA standpoint?

I also eat around this much and it helps considerably with all aspects of health.No. Unless you are allergic, Eggs have zero negative effect on health. I eat at least a half dozen daily. The array of nutrition in an egg, far outweighs the small amount of PUFA, which probably isn't an issue anyway in the grand scheme.
Here some reading on quail eggsInteresting @Simba1992, I have never tried them. Might be worth examining.

Interesting @Simba1992. Thank you I just saw that Wellness Meats where I get my liverwurst has quail. I also just saw some at Whole Foods. Funny since you mentioned them, they have popped up all around me - lol. Never noticed them before.
I start my morning with a shot of three quail eggs, tsp olive oil, ginger and lemon juice scrambled together.Interesting @Simba1992.
