    You could use seaweed sheets instead of just lettuce for more nutrition.

    what's wrong with carbs?

    they turn into sugar which turn into fat.. :(

    Carbs are magic. Holy crap. I wish I could turn into things.

    Then they turn into rabbits that jump out of hats! Then they flap their little arms and fly to the moon!

    I WANNA BE A CARB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

    Lite mayo, lemon juice, ginger and wasabe (all to your taste) is fab. I scoop it up with celery sticks or use a lettuce wrap.

    Here's a recipe that is pretty good.

    Tuna Bites

    Ingredients
    1/4 tsp garlic salt
    1/2 tsp herb mix
    2 tsps olive oil
    1 medium egg
    2 cans tuna (5oz can, chunk light in water)
    2 oz gouda cheese, shredded
    3 tbsps chopped onion
    1/2 cup spinach

    Directions
    1. Sauté the onion in the olive oil with a little bit of the spices and garlic salt, place aside when transparent or soft.
    2. In a bowl, place all ingredients (including sautéed onions) with the remainder of the garlic salt and spices. Mix together until all is mixed properly.
    4. Spray a pan with non-stick spray and heat the pan over medium heat on the stovetop.
    5. Using a tablespoon, divide the mixture in 12 even parts in the pan.
    6. Cook for 10 minuteson one side and then flip and press into little discs so they cook evenly, and cook for another 8-10 minutes or until a little brown.

    Three patties per serving.

    I get the little cans of flavoured tuna (spicy thai chili is my favourite), and eat them on top of some nice greens. My current favorite greens are baby spinach and arugula. Yum! This is my work lunch most days.

    I'm making lemon garlic tuna burgers for dinner tonight! 173 calories per burger. Mine's going on a whole wheat English Muffin with tomato, lettuce and a greek yogurt dill sauce- yum! But you could eat it just like a tuna cake or wrapped in lettuce! :)

    I usually make a salad (just lettuce, shredded carrots and shredded cheese--I don't do dressing), add a pouch or a 1/2 can of tuna and crush up 4 Ritz crackers on top. It's pretty tasty.

    This might not be quite what you're after, but I eat mine mixed with baked beans.

    You can do this with either canned, or homemade baked beans. I normally do the latter of the two as the canned versions can be high in salt! I know baked beans do contain carbs, but they also have a lot of fibre and some protein- so in general a lot better than most carbs!

    I like mine in a stuffed pepper, or on a tomato. I also eat it on nut thin cheddar cheese crackers. I eat this a few nights a week when I work and I feel like it's a perfect meal.

    My tuna salad recipe:
    Can of tuna
    1 hard boiled egg
    1 T Kraft mayo with olive oil
    1 T French's mustard
    1 T pickle relish
    2 stalks chopped celery
