tuna

I put lemon juice, a little bit of low fat mayo and veggies in mine.

Try mixing it with dijonaise - it's dijon mustard w/ a little mayo already mixed in. It's super low in calories and very yummy! Spread some on a piece of toast, top with cheese (can melt in microwave), then add lettuce, tomato, and onion. Or stuff it in a half of a whole wheat pita or a low calorie wrap

I usually make my tuna into a pasta bake with a tomato sauce with lots of roasted veg.

normally i use 2 red peppers, 4 plum tomatoes and 1 or 2 red onions (you can use whatever veg you like) slice & chop everything put into a pyrex dish with some garlic and black pepper, you can then add your drained tuna from the can and your pasta drizzle with a little olive oil and use 2 tins of chopped tomatoes and cold water to create your sauce, give it all a stir and make sure all your pasta is covered. Put in over for approx 40 mins untill your pasta is soft. I normally grate a slice of bread into crumbs and spread over after about 25 mins and you can also add a little cheese to this.

Really tasty and filling. comes in at approx 320 cals per 1/2 dish. This is a good dish to share with someone. And totally disguises the smell of tuna although you can still get the taste throughout the pasta.

Hope this helps.

If you try white albacore in water, the smell is about 1/2 as potent. However, it also has a tendency to have a higher mercury content. So...I guess there is a trade off.

I prepare tuna with a little bit of hellman's mayo (about a teaspoon) and a drop of dijon mustard. I also add chopped dill pickles, onion powder, parsley flakes and ground pepper. You can eat on bread or on a bed of chopped greens to offset the calories from the mayo.

You could google a recipe for tuna burgers -- I think you just substitute the tuna for the ground meat, and season accordingly.

And there is always the pasta option -- cold tuna salads, or warm pasta dishes. Here's a good one from Giada DeLaurentiis: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/fusilli-with-tuna-and-tomato-sauce-recipe/index.html.

Or this one for a tuna and white bean salad: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/white-bean-tuna-salad-recipe/index.html.

Sometimes I forego the tuna and eat canned salmon (the can the size of tuna, or in the pouch). The flavor is really tasty! I add a tsp mayo, italian seasoning, chopped spinach, and chopped fresh tomato. This is also good in pasta salads.

good luck!

I usually do a tuna salad with the canned tuna. I put in there onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, Extra Virgin Olive OIl, a little vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Its yummy like that:happy:
