I scream for tuna

But it's getting old, got any suggestions that don't add many carbs? I got a really good tuna burger recipe that completely disguises the taste and hardly adds anything other then a little more protein and a couple carbs. Let me know if your interested and I'll post it.

    I use a lot of textured vegetable protein (TVP). It adds a few grams of carbs but mainly protein and fiber. It can be added to just about anything - I mix it with veg & seasoning for dinner.

    Chop up peppers and whatever other crunchy vegetable you like and just make a tuna salad.

    Or just man up and EAT!!! :wink:

    I love to flavor my tuna and then eat it on either a bed of lettuce or a bed of cold green beans (think salad nicoise).

    I'll flavor the tuna with:
    * a could of tsp of parmesan cheese
    * canned green chiles
    * salsa
    * curry simmering sauce
    * ginger/ garlic paste
    * soy and wasabi
    * lite italian dressing

    Tuna boats. Get some romaine hearts (the boats). Mix tuna with chopped parsley, diced red pepper and a little spicy dijon mustard and black pepper. Filled the boats and eat. Could add shredded cheese on top but not needed. I admit I originally made them for my son but I love them!

    Add cottage cheese (mostly for moisture in lieu of mayo, but also adds protein, though sometimes I still use some Miracle Whip for flavor as well), and some combination of: sun dried tomatoes, marinaded jalpenos, lemon pepper, rice vinegar, and/or tapatio or other hot sauce. I just mix this up in a bowl and eat it; easy, quick office lunch.

    Instead of tuna, try canned salmon for a change. I find it a bit less...tuna-ey, I guess.

    I have solid light tuna in olive oil (drained) , with a tiny bit of olive oil hellmans, and curry powder. it is like crack. I love it SO much! Also if you want something similar - but not tuna - brisling sardines are good smashed up with avacado and a squirt of lemon on toast... YUM

    Just to add to my post... I did a taste test... chunk white tuna in water vs. solid light in olive oil and the taste difference is HUGE. also there is a huge different between hellmans and miracle whip (if you add mayo) I find specifically for tuna hellmans is just so much better.

    Tuna Salad with greek yogurt, spicey brown mustard, old bay seasoning finely chopped onion and finely chopped celery. I add grated cheese and put between corn tortilals (I'm gluten-free) and and brown on the stove for a tuna melt but skip the tortilla (or bread and do a wrap with lettuce or cabbage)

    I mix mine up with supremely spicy hummus instead of mayo and throw in some green peppers and onions
