I am trying to use what's in the Mfp database for calories, before I search the internet. I have a can that weighs 8 ounces (weighed while still in can, will weigh out of can when I am ready to prepare it), but it does not have a label. It's been torn off. It says on the metal part of the can itself that it's Albacore, so for my question:

Is this (which I got from the Mfp DB) Albacore? It says "white", so I am not sure?

"Fish - Tuna, white, canned in water, drained solids"

Or is "white" different than Albacore?

    The cans I have say "White Albacore" so I think that entry will work for what you've got.

    Same thing!

    By the way, tuna is a GREAT choice nutritionally. I eat the home-canned stuff and it is wonderful.

    I have family members who live at the coast and I barter with them--they do the smelly fish canning. I give them canned and fresh tomatoes and green beans in exchange. :)

    Sounds like a cool deal! I have heard and even seen on cooking shows (like Good Eats with Alton Brown) that there's nothing like fresh home canned tuna, oh and I think tuna from Spain.
