    I usually just use tuna, light/fat free mayo (15-25 cals/TBS) and a *kitten* ton of black pepper. That's all I need for my tuna sammiches!

    I do tuna and a boiled egg too, but it's more a soft-boiled so it's still a little runny but still cooked, That adds enough moisture so I can usually just leave out the mayo or only use a little bit of mayo.

    I usually make my tuna with albacore tuna, boiled egg chopped, onion and celery chopped up and some light Mayo. On wheat bread toasted with tomato lettuce and some cheese. Very filling loaded with protein and veggies!

    Add a little soy sauce. It takes the fishy taste away. :smile:

    I find tuna is nice mixed with sweetcorn, onion and tomato, and some olive oil and lemon juice. I don't really like mayonnaise.

    instead of mayo I use plain low fat Greek yogurt. Tastes good and adds protein...win win!

    I do one can of tuna, one tablespoon of light miracle whip, some dijon mustard, lemon pepper, and a piece of low-fat cheese on 100% whole wheat bread and some spinach.

    I do this:
    2 deli flats
    1 tuna in water package (2.6oz)
    2 tsp Spicy brown mustard
    1 piece crunchy gherkins (or any pickle you like)
    1 tbsp mayonnaise
    i spice it with paprika, nutmeg and black pepper.

    It can have between 360 and 410 calories for all of this and it gets you full. It just depends on which mayo you use and which bread too. It's super yummy

    I use either olive oil mayo or kefir cheese.

    What I did do to lower my calories and carb calories a bit and add more nutrition was to change from bread to Smart and Delicious low carb tortillas. They taste good - even my husband who hates whole wheat likes them. The small ones are only 50 calories.

    They're a bit pricey, but I only use 10 a week.

    I like my tuna with diced onions, tomatoes and sweet pepper, salt and pepper to taste with a little mayo on honey wheat bread.

    I like one can of chunk light tuna, half a white onion, 2 tbs sweet pickle relish, and a tbsp or so of light mayo. Plus a bit of salt, a ton of pepper, and sometimes dill!

    I mash the tuna with hummus instead of mayo! I also add a couple slices of avocado and add black beans, and put it in a wrap. Delicious.

    I dress my tuna with a little extra light mayo, a little low fat yoghurt and a little lemon juice with black pepper.

    I don't really like mayo or onions, so I usually do:
    1 can tuna
    1 stalk celery or half a pepper
    1 tbsp caesar salad dressing
    2 tbsp mild salsa

    Put it on bread and melt some cheese on top. But if you have enough calories, you should make it whatever way you like it.

    "Wonderful Tuna Salad" from _Eat Up, Slim Down_ cookbook by Prevention:

    12 oz tuna in water, drained
    1/3cup plain, fat free yogurt
    4 oz drained, crushed pineapple
    1 celery stalk, chopped fine
    1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
    1/4 cup pecans, chopped
    1 teaspoon yellow mustard
    1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    mix all together
    makes a nice grilled sandwich on a crusty bread...I like it on La Brea's walnut/raisin bread

    I use store brand(any store) chunk light tuna. It tastes much better and is chunkier than the name brands. AND it is almost always lower in calories and sodium. I put 1-2 tbsp of real mayo (haven't switched to light mayo yet because I have been trying to finish off my HUGE jar), 1/8ish cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1-2tbsp of Wildtree Scampi Blend. Then I put it in a 1/2 pocket of Kangaroo Honey Whea Pita Pocket Bread with as much spinach as I can fit into it. Give me a very yummy and filling lunch for about 316 calories.

    Try using Tzatziki instead of mayo. I use Cedar's brand.

    This totally made me want tuna! So I had some! I used 2tbs Sandwich Spread by Kraft, 1/8 c of reduced fat sharp shreeded cheese. A sprinkle freeze dried cilantro and that was all. Usually I add some onion powder or relish... and then I ate it on ritz crackers.

    I just put the tuna on the bread. If you like tuna and you like bread, I don't see the problem. I don't think most people actually like the taste of food. They prefer the taste of fat.

    1.) Open can of tuna
    2.) Grab spoon from sink - no need to wash, it's probably fine.
    3.) Shove tuna into mouth and chew until it is all gone

    It's ok to cheat and chase with some water.
