It still has 30grams of protein though, and all that "lovely" mercury.0

It's still pretty filling. I followed the serving size for a snack and had 1/2 the can mixed with mayonnaise on top of Triscuits and it was very filling! I also love putting relish or mustard on top of tuna. YUMMM!0

As a kid, I ate tuna sandwiches alot, sometimes every day for a few days straight, and so did my Dad. I wonder how much mercury is in my system :ohwell:0 -
so found starkist packages of sandwich ready tuna 3 ounces and only 90 calories...fairly inexpensive considering the cost of a sandwich0

I have noticed that the servings on the can used to read 2.5 and now read 2. Inflation...0

throw out the can and buy fresh tuna. You can do so much with it and still cook it up to make a sandwich style spread.0

Right. And it says a serving size says 2 ozs drained, so you don't get two servings like the can says. Not fair.0 -
The cans ar esmaller than they used to be.
And Tillamook cheddar slices are3/4 of an ounce as opposed to 1 ounce in the past.0 -

Man.. I love tuna.. and now I have to worry about mercury? Is there anything in this world that is safe to eat? :ohwell:0

Apparently canned tuna is not a mercury concern because mercury levels are 'high' in larger fish and the tuna used for the canned variety are so small they don't eat enough mercury for it to be concern.Although if you eat enough of anything it could be a problem.
Now if you are eating fresh steaks, you need to limit it to once a week because those big fish have eaten so many small little mercury ridden fish that the mercury has had the chance to accumulate in their system and will be passed on to you.0 -

Really? Wonderful. I think I only eat the larger tuna when I eat sushi, and that's a treat that I don't have daily, to say the least0 -
Fish that get really old and big have tons of Mercury... like swordfish.... and unfortunately i really like swordfish.0
