It's tuna that was in a can with water. 2 ounces is 70 calories. There's nothing in it but 0 calorie mustard and lemon juice. I was wondering, does this look right? More or less

    Seems close, though your tuna is coming up as 60 cals instead of 70. So I'd add about 15 cals just to be safe. I'm guessing you used a 70 g tin, not a 120 g tin, right? Your celery isn't 8" long (your knife is only about 8 - 10" long) but I would just leave it. Better to over estimate (since maybe your celery is thicker than the entry assumes).

    I'm not sure your corn is only 1/3 cup. It might be more like 1/2 cup... I'm not sure. But corn has a bit more of a calorie punch as compared to celery, you might want to over estimate a bit. Maybe it just looks like more to me because it's mixed in with the tuna instead of separate.

    Yay for tuna salads! If you avoid mayo, they're so low cal :)
