Right.  But my body says, "not too many eggs".  I can have a few.  But any  
more
than that, and something says: "no more eggs for a while".  I haven't  
figured it
out.  I don't have any symptoms, other than this temporary extreme  
distaste for eggs.
I can eat about 4 eggs a week.  I believe eggs are a very healthy food,  
and I'm not
restricting myself according to somebody's dietary notions.

That said, yes, in paleo times, eggs would have been available during  
spring and
early summer, maybe up to mid summer.  And that would have been it.  I  
believe that in
other climates, there would still have been a set time for eggs and  
raising baby
birds, whether it is spring-summer or whatever.

We all could avoid a lot of food sensitivities, reactions, etc., by eating  
what
is in season where we live, or where our ancestors lived.  In winter, eat  
winter
vegetables.  Eat fruit in the summer and fall, not all year around.  Eat  
eggs in
spring and summer.  Eat asparagus and spring greens for a few weeks in  
spring.
Meat would have been available all year around, but particularly tasty in  
the fall,
after putting on weight and fat all summer.  Nice fat grubs and so forth  
in the summer.
Nuts in the fall and early winter only.  It's a different way of looking  
at food.
