I've been eating 2-3 cans per day with a bit of dijon mustard and pepper mixed in.. because it is zero carbs and extremely high protein.. How likely is mercury poisoning? I plan on following this for the next 2 weeks. How often do you eat canned tuna?

    Somewhere on here a few days ago I read that only about 2-3 cans is recommended per WEEK.
    I think even 1 can a day is excessive.

    i agree with the 2-3 a week, i love tuna so i can see how addicting it can be. try chicken breasts, theyre practically no fat and no carbs but high protein, love em!

    We go through a case and a half of tuna a month... I wouldn't worry too much...

    as long as you aren't pregnant....I think I remember hearing you should be careful with tuna when pregnant.

    There was a consumer report not too long ago about how chunk light had much less mercury than the white. Which kind are you eating?

    PS I love Tuna

    Thanks for the input ... I get the clover leaf solid white tuna low sodium in water for now... switching them up between chunk light is probably a good idea..
