For the love of Tuna

Are there any other individuals out there that make tuna a regular staple in their everyday life? I eat it for lunch pretty much every day and just love the nutrition values of it. It can be in salad form with a little spinach and lettuce or just alone, with a few Wheat Thins. I am just in heaven when I eat it. :bigsmile:

    I started eating tuna on Fridays during Lent. Now, I still buy it and eat it at least once or twice a week!

    I hate pretty much anything packed in oil! I eat the packages, not the cans and if I can't find it in water, I am not eating it. :)
    I also like the canned chicken every now and then but I mostly grill or bake all my chicken and then make chunks which I freeze. Nothing like a chicken salad on a night when I don't feel like cooking.

    I eat it often (3-4 x per week). I just switched to starkist select very low sodium and love it. Mix it with a chopped dill pickle and eat it on rice crackers. So yummy!!!

    Yep indeed. Normally I do not like fish, but I greatly enjoy the Spicy Thai Chili tuna (85 g). Have one most every night on whole dark rye, 25 g of protein right there, low calories and only takes a second to open. Also good thrown into a tomato salad.

    Want a healthier tuna salad, try swapping the mayo with a roasted red pepper hummus, or any hummus really, I just like the roasted red pepper. YUMMO!

    I'm with you on the the fish part in the diet. My favourite is sockeye salmon.. Many benefits for that too.

    I have been on a special diet for a few months I can't have mayo or salad dressing of any kind so I use tuna a lot! I mix it with hummus (lots of different flavors out there) and I either eat it on special bread or spread it on top of a salad (this is the best use in my opinion) love it!!

    I eat it at least two or three times a week. I love it. I mix mine with a tablespoon of light mayo and a tablespoon of dill relish. I love it on a half of a thin bun and a slice of melted cheddar cheese....Yum. Just figured out what I am making for lunch today.
