    Mmmmm, just finished my half-can of tuna, mixed with a finely chopped stick of celery and a good blob of natural yoghurt, seasoned with black pepper. Had it piled in spoonfuls onto strips of toasted wholemeal pitta bread. Delicious!

    For a quick lunch, I add 1/2 can tuna (drained) to some of the ready made coleslaw. I use the vinegar and oil dressing. It is really good. I have that a couple of times a week at lunch. It is filling so that helps make the afternoon easier to bear.

    Mash up an avocado, mix in a splash of lemon juice, a grind of black pepper and a small can of tuna in chilli oil (drained).
    Delicious with crackers, celery or toast.

    tuna mixed with salsa is great.

    also eating it on cucumber slices (instead of bread or crackers) saves you a ton of calories. :)

    I mix a can of tuna (the lowest sodium type I can find) with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of egg whites and sometimes I'll add things like diced onions and nutritonal yeast (1-2 Tbsp). I mix it up and cook it like a pancake. Yummy! It can be topped with some greek yogurt, mayo, pico de gallo, salsa - whatever floats your boat.

    I use the light tuna in water. Most of the time it is a salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, cut up a sweet onion in it, a boiled egg, the whole can of tuna [99 calories] and put fat free vineragrette dressing over it. Another way I fix it is with 1/2 plain macaronni, a boiled egg, onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayo. Sprinkle pepper on top. No salt. Both are great and I love tuna.

    I like to make quesadillas: plain tuna, shredded cheese, black beans, tomato (anything you want really). Just make sure to use small tortillas or you might get a ton of calories from the large one.

    I also like tuna with mayo in a wrap with veggies.

    I've enjoyed tuna with salsa in a tortilla.

    One of my new favorites are these tuna melt pizzas made with bisquik. I use the heart healthy kind, you make a dough, then you mix tuna with ranch dressing to spread on the crust, throw some tomatoes and some cheese (sparingly). Bake. Yummy yummy, and low calorie!

    I buy the small cans of tuna that are flavored and put it over a salad for lunch. YUM sometimes I i put them on pumpernickel bread drained with a bit of light cream cheese as well for a light sandwich.

    Family favorite:

    Bed of lettuce
    1 c lowfat cottage cheese
    1/2 can tuna
    1 slice (no idea the measurement, we always sliced it out of the can) cranberry sauce

    Excellent chilled salad - perfect for a hot day!
