    Typically i eat it straight - drained, rinsed, and drained again (to remove the taste of the can), and then with some sea salt and pepper cracked over it....with 2 oz of good cheese and quality bread (no bagged sandwich loaves for me!), or crackers or veggies for crunch.

    alternatively, i'll make an open-faced melt in the oven. tuna, zucchini relish, and the tiniest bit of miracle whip to hold it together - semi-toast a slice of bread, lightly butter, then salt, pepper, garlic powder & parsley. top with tuna mix and sliced or shredded cheese of your preference. i use shredded asiago or sliced havarti. hubby prefers cheddar. bake at 350* for 10min

    before the calorie counting, i'd also do tuna casserole, using boxed mac & cheese mix as a base, but i also boiled frozen shelled edamame with the noodles. prep as instructed, fold in canned tuna and shredded cheese. put into oven-safe casserole dish, add more cheese. cover and bake. i should probably calculate the calories in that sometime and see if i can make it friendlier without sacrificing taste. Lent is coming.

    ....cheese might be a weakness of mine....

    I'm disgusting and I just mix it with hot sauce and chopped dill pickles and eat it like that. Or if I'm getting fancy I'll throw that mixture on salad greens and add some tomatoes/bell peppers/etc.

    I add tuna to my salad a few times a week.

    Yes! Awesome in salad with cucumbers and a diced hard boiled egg.

    I like the bumblebee sensations. I usually have them plain for lunch. They started selling them in pouches now and not just a tiny can with crackers, I never ate the crackers anyway since they weren't worth the calories. They come in tomato basil, Thai chili and lemon pepper flavors.

    I thinly slice half of a medium size onion, fry them in little oil until somewhat caramelized. I drain the water and add one can tuna to the pan with caramelized onion. Incorporate the two on medium low heat. Once mixed and hot I turn the heat off. Then I add one tablespoon of mayo. Then salt to taste and lots (like 1 teaspoon) of ground black pepper! I love black pepper

    Ever since I read the suggestion of tuna and cottage cheese, I've been trying to convince myself to try it. But it just sounded so gross. Finally got up the courage tonight and mixed a Starkist sweet and spicy packet with some cottage cheese. Oh my word! I still can't believe how delicious it was! I don't think I could do plain canned tuna with cottage cheese, but I'll definitely be doing it again with the flavored packets. Such a delicious, low-cal way to get a good amount of protein.

    I just made asian tuna patties- scallions, ginger, garlic, a tiny tiny bit of soy, maybe cilantro, chinese 5 spice. Mix it up (I didn't have eggs, or breadcrumbs, but I pan fried them) little crumbly, but delicious. I served it with greek yogurt mixed with Sriracha

    I like a large amount of finely chopped Claassen pickles, even some of the juice, mustard, and some chopped apples. Keeps it pretty low cal and still delicious!

    That sounds good! I eat it with sweet pickle relish and a little mayo.

    I do tuna sandwiches. I mix in one tablespoon of mayo. Put it all on 2 slices of whole wheat bread and add in some spinach.

    When I was a kid I hated mayo so I always mixed mine with the bottled lawry's lemon pepper marinade and some extra fresh cracked pepper.
