Heat up a portion of peas and corn in the microwave. Add a portion of tuna, salt and pepper. Taste is reminiscent of tuna noodle casserole (one of my childhood favorites). 3. A portion of tuna with a portion of brown rice and a little spaghetti sauce. Add a little parmesan cheese. 4. You can always make tuna cakes--mix with a little ground up oatmeal, salt, pepper, dijon mustard and form into patties, brown in a non-stick frying pan until hot. I am a tuna lover, though, and a couple of these have made my family declare me as " gross " and tell me that my food stinks, so be forewarned!!

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 I usually mix a can of tuna with a little light mayo and a little sweet pickle relish. I eat it cold, with a piece of fruit on the side. Or, sometimes I put it on 5 Triscuits (about 100 cals, 15g carbs). My favorite tuna meal though is to mix a can of tuna with light mayo, a chopped apple, and a few raisins. Don't barf until you try it. It's really good. :-) Tuna Hey! I am going to attempt to learn to like tuna fish. So, can anyone tell me how they like to eat it? Warm? Cold? With FF Italian dressing over it? etc. Thanks so much, Siprize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 I have to admit I'm not a canned tuna fan. Once a week I buy sushi- grade tuna steaks, rub them with spices and just barely grill them on each side, serving them sashimi style. That's my favorite. If I have to eat the canned stuff, I make a salad out of it: 1 can tuna drained, 1 apple chopped, 1-2 stocks celery chopped, 1 packet Equal, salt/pepper, dijon mustard to taste. I know it sounds weird, but it works really well together and has a crunchy, sweet/sour taste. I also will eat tuna mixed with veggies and tuna mixed with salsa.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Also not a 'tuna fan' until I switched to buying albacore tuna in springwater (pricier yes, catfood flavor no! LoL!) Here are some other tuna recipes too: *Basic Tuna & Cottage Cheese Mix* 1 part canned tuna (white albacore is the best) with 1 part fatfree cottage cheese.This mixture is incredibly versatile ~ Some people add pickle relish to it also. Eat it on its own or use it in a sandwich or make the melts below: *Tuna Melts* Prepare tuna and cottage cheese mix. Spread over a nice multigrain bagel cut in half works well for this. Top with sprinkling of grated fatfree cheddar cheese Microwave for a minute or grill under broiler (watch it--these burn fast!) till cheese on top is well melted. <<joni>> *who buys the little three packs of tuna - they are just the right size* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Has anyone shared the tuna cakes recipe with you yet? Mix 1 can water packed tuna with one egg white and 2 Tbsp of WW flour.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I would say no, I beleive and I may be wrong but I think as long as you're only using a little bit, its considered a fat. I wouldn't worry about it. I don't like fat free anything, all they do is add more sugar to make up for the fat most of the time I've learned, so I go with the " light " stuff. JMO! ~kimmah > Is fat free mayo counted as a carb? I'm thinking it's not, but I need to make > sure since I eat my tuna with the mayo. > Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 >So if there is 17 mcg of mercury in canned tuna, and it is said ther is a higher content in white albacore, is it higher than 17? Have a great day :) :) :) Bambi< I'm thinking that it isn't a good thing there is 17 mcg of mercury in a can of tuna. But also it can't possibly be as bad for a body as having 25 mcg injected into the bloodstream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I have switched to salmon because of the possible mercury in tuna. I never cared much for tuna anyhow but the Bumble Bee Wild Alaska pink salmon is really good. The best part is that I can eat it without adding things like mayonnaise because it is not so dry as tuna. Dee veroeins <veroeins@...> wrote: Hi Bee and everybody!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I've heard in many articles that albacore tuna is much higher in mercury. That the levels measured in the chunk light is alot lower. It is the cheaper variety and does not taste as good though. I always used to enjoy the albacore, untill reading about the high levels in it. Seems like you can't win. We have fresh Lake Superior fish here wher I live, but its got high levels of mercury and there are warnings on it for women, children and pregnant women. I use it a few times a year and am planning on making the fish broth in Sally Fallons cookbook. You use the whole fish gutted out of course and include the eyes, brain and bones. Hopefully, I will recieve more benefits and not too much mercury. I highly reccommend the cookbook. Many good recipes! Val veroeins <veroeins@...> wrote: Hi Bee and everybody!

The two best kinds are albacore and skipjack - do not buy tuna that doesn't state any kind of fish on the label. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 My wife and I buy fish based on this list. We only buy the ones that are on the lowest list. We figure its best to err on the side of caution and limit exposure to bad stuff. Also note quite a few brands of canned tuna have soy in them.

I see we have both at home in the can here and one can says it has sodium acid pyrophosphate (white tuna) thats the only difference. Bot contain tuna/water and salt.. ==>This is from my main candida article: Canned skipjack or albacore tuna are safer than canned bluefin or yellowfin tuna. Small seafood, such as oysters, sardines, anchovies and shrimp are okay to eat since they are small enough to have minimal contamination. Buy all canned fish that is packed in olive oil or spring water. ==>Do not buy any that contain chemicals such as the one you listed.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi Machelle, I buy their canned sockeye salmon, sablefish and salmon sausage. Most canned salmon brands make me want to hurl chunks. Not so with the Vital Choice brand, which I really enjoy eating. Unfortunately they are very expensive so I ration the Vital choice fish with Trader Joes sockeye salmon which is a lot cheaper. Andy > > Hi everyone! I'm new to the group.

Welcome to our group. Some types of tuna are better than others, i.e. skipjack and albacore. Did you know that the fish's own body is designed to chelate out mercury just like our own bodies do? Sally Fallon writes about it at www.westonaprice.org. ==>I believe there are too many warnings about the dangers of good food. The warnings should be directed to processed foods and chemicals in our foods rather to something like tuna. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
