    I use flavored vinegars like Perel's Tequila Lime, cook frozen tuna vs canned for even better taste. Also consider hummus as a spread or binder in place of mayo or a little fat free plain yogurt.

    I make tuna patties. I use 2 servings of tuna, 1 egg, black pepper, and about 5-7 crackers, smashed to crumbs. mix it up, split in half, shape it, cook it. I use cooking spray, i know its got a teeeny bit of fat, but w/e. 1 quick spray.. viola, 2 sandwich ready patties.

    I love tuna fish. I love to make a sandwich with onions but my all time favorite is to cook some pasta, drain, put in a bowl add onions a boiled egg and I use mayonnaise but someone was talking about the laughing cow cheese. I think I am going to try it with no mayo but add the cheese if the sodium is not to high. [I am restricted on sodium. Some Ms. Dash sodium free onion and herb would be good.} Hope that helps you. I came up with a new way of fixing for me. Thanks.:laugh:

    I put tuna fish on my green salad with a hard boiled egg. Yummy.

    I have tuna with Granny Smith apple diced and mixed into the salad. The tart/sweet apple makes the tuna flavor more palatable. Some people also add nuts with the apple but I prefer just apple and I peel it cause I don't like the peel but you could do either. You could mix Hellmens light mayo with plain yogurt to cut the calories. I would not eat tuna every day because of the mercury but a couple times a week would be good.

    Hi. Do you like dijon mustard? Lower calories than mayo. Be careful with eating tuna everyday. Tuna is high in mercury and that could bring other health issues.

    I like the flavored pouches too, I've found that I can eat them dry (no mayo) if I put them in a salad and add dressing later.

    I make white albacore in water with regular hellmans mayo for lunch, I also add relish and half a small white onion. I used to like it with a lot of mayo but for the last few weeks I've gradually been putting slightly less mayo each time. I don't intend to eat it dry but just to get it down to a cal level I'm a little more comfortable with.

    I think the important thing is to healthy things that you also enjoy and to count them! Its okay to eat mayo as long as you account for it in your diary. If you deprive yourself and don't enjoy what you're eating you won't be able to stick to this.

    Side note: if you like pickles they go great with tuna and have very few calories :)

    I mix a lot of things with tuna. In fact, I make a salad that grosses out everyone around me but I absolutely love it! I put a can of tuna on top of some lettuce, toss in lowfat shredded cheddar, little Italian dressing, and the hottest salsa I can stand (I've heard spicy is helpful for burning fat but I could be way off). You get veggies, you get protein, and you get a little bit of dairy.

    I also like to mix relish in with my tuna and simply leave the mayo out. Not as fun, but tolerable. Play around with different seasoning too: lemon pepper, dill, garlic salt, etc.


    I wont lie i will totally try that first one lol

    I use a tablespoon of mayo and a tablespoon of relish and enjoy every drop of it. It's only about 300 calories or so and keeps me full for hours. And if I want it on bread I used the pita pockets that are 100 calories per half and only eat half the tuna on it. Brownberry Pocket Thins Italian Herb is the freaking bomb and so delish with the tuna. 3 oz's of ham in them are delish.

    This is how I make my tuna

    Kraft - Miracle Whip Dressing 3 tbsp
    Starkist - Chunk Light Tuna In Water 2cans
    All Whites 100% Liquid Egg Whites - Eggwhites 12 tbsp (you can boil them in a zip lock bag then slice them up)
    Vlasic - Hamburger Dill Chips Pickles (Ovals) I just slice them up till I get how meny I want in there there 0 calories
    I mix that up and add a little of the pickle brine till its to a consistency that I like.

    This will make 4 servings at 105 calories a serving with 16 grams of protein and only 2 carbs we use some Healty Life 35 calorie bread and call it good (which it is)

    What do you mean how good is it for diet? Calories in vs calories. You won't lose more weight by eating a specific type of food if calories are the same

    Actually, that's not entirely true. Certain foods burn differently & some also influence how other foods are burned or absorbed.

    For example, hot & spicy foods can have an increased burn effect, just like drinking ice cold water. I forget why the hot stuff boosts it, but I know the cold boosts it because of the metabolic reaction of the body to warm it upon consumption. Also, if you eat high glycemic foods like white baked potatoes. It is better to put butter/sour cream fats on them because it slows the processing & absorption of high glycemic content so blood sugar doesn't spike so high so fast. So what you eat and how you prepare/combine them can make a difference.

    I think most are in E but I think you can get some which are in F# which makes a nice change.

    Well-played, sir. :laugh:
