Hi Guys,

I'm on a high fat, high protein regime with lots of training at the moment so thought I'd share this recipe because it's one of my favourite protein/fat packed meals also quick & easy. Tweak it as required, add/remove what you want but be prepared to love it!

1 Tin Of Tuna
3 x Free Range Eggs
Onion
Pepper (green, red or yellow)
Cracked black pepper
Cheddar Cheese
Chives.

Approx 350 calories & 35g of protein.

Try it before you form an opinion!

    Well thanks I might just do that. I always try things before giving it an opinion I may think it could be gross but I don't have an actual opinion on it just yet. I know this could be real good. Thanks for the recipe.

    Try it, nothing to lose but it's surprisingly tasty. Everyone I mention it too thinks it sounds horrible but it really isn't! (Maybe my taste buds are off) .... Everyone I have made it for seems to like it... Unless they are just being polite

    It is simple, can bang it together in minutes & scoff it down rapid

    I make this all the time without the cheese. I saute the veggies (whatever I have in the fridge) and tuna before adding the egg. Very yummy. Add hot sauce if desired :)

    Tuna omlettes are the bomb. Salmon ones too!

    Yum. Pour it into muffin tins and bake it instead of cooking it omelette style, and all of a sudden it's portable and easy to make in advance for a grab 'n' go :D

    Yes. It's awesomely versatile... I messed it up once & scrambled it with egg instead to try & salvage something from it.... Turned out to be epic!

    Nice recipe. Will cook it tomorrow. It's strange that I've never tried tuna with eggs before. Thanks a lot.

    I've never done tuna with eggs, but do salmon all the time. I'll have to try it with canned and if that's not so great I'll give tuna steaks a try before saying nay.

    This is an awesome idea, I’ll have to try it soon! Thanks for sharing. Except I’m not sure about your calorie and protein count: for the kind I buy, a can of tuna alone has 32g of protein (Cloverleaf skipjack tuna in water) and 120cals. So, it will be even more protein. Which is awesome :smiley:

    I'm the same, Tuna isn't nice cooked usually.... But omelette version is where the magic happens!
