I'd just like to share a little of what I learned today eating at Subway, I usually love stopping by to get lunch there, either a turkey 6 inch or veggie 6 inch. However, today I thought wow tuna is fish, that'd be healthy let's try it out. WRONNNGG. I went on the nutritional website, and you know how much calories are in a 6 inch tuna sub on whole wheat? 530 CALORIES that is twice as much as they turkey (280 calories) or veggie (230 calories). Just warning ya'll, don't fall for the tuna! And don't add fatty dressing, try something light, or nothing at all.

    I'm sure they add tons and tons of mayo to their tuna salad.

    When I make it at home I add a bit of light mayo and dijon mustard. Works out great. :smile:

    Tuna is not unhealthy or fattening. Look up the nutritional values on a can of tuna. It is low in fat and calories. What makes a tuna sandwich high in fat and calories is the extras that are on that sandwich such as mayo or oil and also the kind of bread used.

    Subway tuna is horrible but I love tuna.

    One of the best sources of protein out there. (Good protein at that.)

    Tuna at home is NOT THAT HIGH! I promise! I eat an entire can on my own.... I use all natural Lemonaise light, or a little olive oil and mustard and it is DELICIOUS and not bad at all! Excellent protein! :-D DOn't give up on Tuna- just subway's tuna hehe
    But thanks for the heads up! :-D I usually get turkey or chicken breast myself.

    Sometimes i make tuna sandwiches for the added protein I need. Good stuff! I never get the tuna at Subway though, I usually just get oven roasted chicken w/veggies and sweet onion..only 350 calories there. :smile:

    When we make tuna salad, we just add onions and Dijonnaise...YUM! Yeah, Subway's tuna is one of their highest cal sandwiches along with the meatball sub....that is NOT worth it. I like to get the oven roasted chicken on 9 grain wheat with no cheese and the fat free sweet onion sauce, lettuce and tomato....I think it's only like 600 for a 12 inch.

    Personally I prefer my tuna plain. I eat it straight from the can and it looks like cat food.
