I usually eat 3 or 4 vital farms pastured eggs every day. Should I be worried about PUFA consumption with this amount of eggs daily. I looked into it and their chickens do get a supplemental feed of corn and soy, on top of whatever the heck they’re eating on pasture. I love my eggs, but I do want to be cognizant of the amount of PUFA I’m taking in daily

It's a definite problem, if they get corn and soy. But if you feel better eating more eggs, don't feel too bad. There's choline and all sorts of vitamins and minerals in those eggs. Maybe add a little extra vitamin E

I noticed a clear benefit from eating vital farms as opposed to ordinary eggs, so I'm guessing PUFA wasn't too high. But that was a long time ago and maybe the feed is worse now (I don't eat eggs regularly anymore).

You guys are crazy with the PUFA talk. Eggs are one of the healthiest foods man can consume. Eat as many as you desire. Vital Farms pasture raised eggs are a fine brand. Local fresh are always best, but if you need to go store bought, that’s a good brand.

What the heck is this garbage comment? Do I tell you you're crazy?

Chicken which are free-range and can eat insects and other things are a great food.

Chicken fed tons of soy and corn are NOT a great food.

If I'm reading this correctly they actually have more PUFA (by way of omega-3)

However, not feeding them soy removes the isoflavones (the control feed was 25% soybean meal)

The organic Vital Farms (brown package) are noticeably better tasting, and worth the extra money, IMO.

Agreed, altho I'd advise on not calling anyone crazy, couldve worded it better. But yeah, eggs are consistently great food for me.

Yesterday I had 12 egg large omelette with mushrooms and felt amazing

Me too, I stick to 3 or 4 day, but it really works well for me as a breakfast food, with a slice or 2 of organic sourdough and some fruit if available + my morning espresso

These eggs really changed. I wanted to up my egg consumption again after stopping for a while and they were pale yellow instead of orange like they used to be and as soon as I ate them I felt the anti-thyroid effects of PUFA unlike a few years ago. I needed a lot of vitamin E for my thyroid to get normal again.
