canned tuna uses?

Mixed with Greek Yogurt adds so much protein with 0% fat!
It's like a protein PUNCH!...sometime a little honey mustard and ALWAYS with fresh/dried dill herb...and if I don't have any around, I chop up Dill Pickles and toss those in!

Surely a staple and an all-time fav!
YUM!

Tuna with Mayo and Relish !!!! YUMMY....

healthyjen342

Instead of mayo I use plain yogurt (trust me you can't tell the difference), mustard, relish, and a dash of chili powder and pepper. Sometimes I just eat it like that or sometimes I put it on toast.

Interesting...I will have to try this.

It's also great for when you need to get the cat out of the attic.

Yup! This is correct, you can't taste it. I buy 1 jar of light mayo a year and have to toss it after using no more than 1-2 tbsp's. Such a waste and regular yogurt when you are done cooking with it can still be eaten by itself or with fruit as a treat. Much better investment.

thanks for all of these awesome ideas!!!! I am going to rock out some tuna today.

Bumblebee makes little packages of pre seasoned tuna with crackers. I had the lemon pepper it was pretty good. Next time I'll prolly make it myself and use whole grain crackers. It came with Ritz - ew!

The other day I just added Fresh garden salsa to my tuna and ate it....delish!

Mix with diced onion and low fat mayo. Put on top of whole wheat english muffins and then top with fat free cheese slice. Toast in oven. Low cal tuna melt--my favorite way to eat tuna!

I throw it in an omelette, often with onions/spinach/feta cheese.

I'm always looking for new ways. Some of these sound absolutely delicious!

mix it with a bit of balsmic vinegar and have with a mixed leaf salad or on top of a baked potato

i also do a budget tuna pasta bake:

2 cans of tuna
jar of tomato based pasta sauce
tin of sweetcorn
fusili pasta (or of your choice)
bit of mature cheddar cheese grated

add all ingredients into an oven proof dish except cheese, fill the sauce jar with water to the top of the label and add to the ingredients and mix together.cover and place into a pre heated oven (gas 5 i use) for 20 mins, take out stir put the grated cheese on top and place back in the oven uncovered for another 20 minutes until the pasta is cooked. enjoy

obviously i've not included nutritional info as this varies by what ingredients you use

Thanks for postings this question! I am a semi-veg (seafood only), so I have really struggle with ways to get enough protein. I can't believe how many great ideas everyone.
Seriously going to copy some of these ideas to my recipe book right now!

How much pasta would you use? I calculated this with 85g and its about 5 WW points so thats good but since thats for 4 servings I'm wondering if it's not filling enough.

honestly... it depends on the size of the dish you are using. i tend to add the pasta after the other ingredients (no idea why i didn't say this in my method) and then add roughly 100g so that the dry pasta still has plenty of room to expand. its a surpisingly filling dish that is eaten regularly in our house infact its what we are having on saturday night lol

i'll weigh it out properly next time lol
