Canned tuna in water

What is the most accurate way to log them? I had a whole can after a lower body workout today and I measured it drained and it came up to 91 grams, but when I choose to log that I ate the whole thing it has a higher amount of everything.

By weight, drained? Or by choosing one container in the database?

With the plethora of different brands, can sizes, etc., it's tough to judge without knowing specifically which one you are talking about. That being said, I generally just log it as 1 container drained for whatever the size is.

Is there no entry in the database for the brand you had?

If there isn't, use the nutritional information from the can (you can create your own entries).

There is an entry labelled "FIsh - Tuna, light, canned in water, drained solids" that you can use. Just switch it to grams and enter the grams you had (you can select a 100g entry so if you select that than just change the serving amount to 0.91)

For the entire can, the one container looks fairly accurate (should be about 120g drained I am guessing). That being said, the volume based measurement is obnoxious, considering the amount of water that is often in those cans.

Canned tuna in general tends to hover a bit over 1 cal per gram in my experience.
