I don't understand why eggs have any place at all in a Peat-inspired diet. They are not only a significant source of overall PUFA -- they are also the most highly-concentrated dietary source available of the most inflammatory PUFA in existence (arachidonic acid). Not to mention, they are rich sources of cysteine, methionine, and tryptophan.
I've read that Peat recommends limiting them to 1-2 per day but honestly, is that not already too much? Adding 1-2 eggs to an otherwise low PUFA Peat'ish diet of fruit, dairy, ruminant meat, etc could easily double your daily PUFA intake from ~3g to 6g.
