Tuna tastes like crap.
What can I eat with tuna that will make it somewhat decent?
I know mayo and celery is good, but mayo is pure fat so for now I’m gonna try and stay away from it.
thanks for the suggestions
Cheddar Cheese is a good option. That’s a solid protein/fat meal if served in the right portion.
Or a tuna sandwich with whole-grain bread. Solid protein/carb meal.
You can also get low-fat mayo…
One of my standby meals is a can of tuna and 1- 1.5 tblspoons of olive oil, and a couple olives- its a meal that can be scarfed in under a minute if ur in a rush.
If u have the time make a nice salad with veggies and such.
To me, tuna is not the most appetizing thing i eat, but it is healthy- efficient and fast- when your eating 6 -9 meals a day you have to learn to deal and make the best.
Or a sandwich on wheat bread with olives and pepper- i found that to be a great meal before a workout.
Find a low sugar barbeque sauce and mash up the tuna with the sauce. Just keep telling yourself it’s slow simmered barbequed beef.
I make it with some olive oil, mustard, tabasco and a little light mayo. Throw in some vegetables and whatever spices you want. Tastes decent, but it’s still tuna.
Make some chili but replace the ground beef with tuna.
I mix my tuna with cottage cheese. Might as well get all the nasty stuff down in one go.
I wouldn’t eat Tuna. Now the brave T-Man response should be: “Hey pal they say about everything can kill you…who cares?” Please someone say that, or something close…

small amt mayo + curry powder + apple or pear…sounds weird tastes great.
Well…the odds are in your favor.
“Based on MPP’s calculations, one out of every 20 cans of white albacore tuna should be recalled as unsafe for human consumption.”
low fat mayo, lots of cayenne pepper and black pepper.
tiny cubes of onion, pepper, mushroom, courgette, and poss small amt of sweetcorn
add to 50g of whole wheat pasta. Add lemon juice.
mix and eat
I make a sort of “Tuna Chanko” by mixing it with salsa and mixed vegetables.
One of the tuna companies is making a packaged solid steak–albacore–each package costs a little over $2 so it’s not as cheap as a can, but it’s a lot better tasting.
They offer a barbeque flavor, a lemon pepper, and a soy/ginger.
Each package has about 40 grams of protein.
Just rip open the foil pack and eat!

You know, I stopped eating tuna, and not because of the reports, but because it often made me feel sluggish and even get a low grade temperature. I know farm raised Salmon has problems, but I was wondering what are the “odds” here? If you really want high quality and inexepensive meat, find a friend who is a hunter and will get you an elk. Its also much higher in creatine than farm raised meat. FOR THE COST, you can get a 10 cup bucket of cottage cheese for 5.99 at a wholesale grocery store. Thats about 260 grams of protein or over 40 grams/dollar. But Low Carb Grow! is still pretty economical, around 25 grams/dollar.
Yes canned tuna is cheap protein, if you get 3 cans for a dollar thats about 100 grams, but then again, soy protein is cheap too. You can get like 5000 grams of protein for less than 40 if you get a deal-and boobs to match!
I stopped because I just couldn’t eat it anymore. Made me puke everytime…And, I used to love it. Oh well.
Yes, eating tuna can be a dirty bitch sometimes. Try mixing canned pineapple chunks in with the tuna. It helps to kill the taste a little, and ends up being a P + C meal. I actually picked this tip up from a bodybuilding mag years ago; it was about the only worthwhile info in that rag!
Tuna w/ fresh olives is terribly good !
mayonaise!
