When I eat tuna, I eat the whole can. I don’t understand how anyone could eat less than the whole can. Apparently Bumble Bee tuna doesn’t believe anyone could eat the whole can and that’s why they suggest 2 oz. for their serving size.
Now, I gotta MULTIPLY the caloric and macro-nutrient information to figure out how much of each I got. I know good and goddam well the skinny fats don’t need this information as bad or as quickly as me.
WHY CAN’T FOOD MANUFACTURERS PUT THE TOTAL OF WHAT’S IN THE CAN AND LET THE SKINNY FATS DIVIDE !?!?
Get the smaller cans or the packets- it lists the caloric value of the entire package. If it’s not enough calories, get 2. Of course, then you’d have to add.

Math stuff listed from “simplest” to “hardest”
Add
Subtract
Multiply
Divide
Seems most people have a hard enough time just adding and subtracting…we don’t want anyone to get hurt by over-exerting themselves.
(but really, I think the poster above is right about what the government deems a “portion size.”)
This is internet sarcasm, right? I mean, if you really can’t handle 13*2.5 without whipping out a calculator, maybe this isn’t the website for you.
Seriously though, one of the reasons food manufacturers don’t list “entire package” nutritional data is so people don’t shit in their pants when they realize the ravioli they’re feeding the kids is over 1000 calories and a week’s sodium in a single “serving”.
Or why the average (read:weak) guy is a fatass when those Healthy Grain ™ chips are only 120 calories per serving! Neglecting to read down to the 16 servings per bag, Tubby puts away an entire bag of the “healthy” snacks in an afternoon of Warcraft and extreme chewing. Hello, 1920 empty calories! (No, you don’t need a calculator for that either. 1206=720, 12010=1200, 720+1200=1920)
It’s the “100 calorie pack” deception: lower the serving size until it’s healthy.

Well, I totally understand their logic, since we all know that too much protein makes you fat and gives you a hear attack!
Hence, the serving size for a huge bagel is the whole bagel (coz it’s healthy).
Fat = 9 kcals per gram
Protein and carbs = 4 kcal each per gram
If you can multiply these numbers with grams, you will know how much kcals (often just called calories) you will need to expend.
Who knows if that helps… somehow I don’t think you were looking for a real answer, rather just pointing out that food manufactures, are misleading with food labels.

He could be serious. Look underneath his name, he’s in Japan. If he’s American, nutrition labels in Japanese could make it harder for him to multiply.

You’ve missed the point. It’s not for the skinny-fatties - it’s for the fatties. The food manufacturers are appealing to the needs of the majority, and the skinny fats are in the minority in case you haven’t realized.

For my future reference, how many calories/grams protein in an entire can of tuna?[/quote]
My chicken of the sea tuna in water has 22g protein per can.
Tuna cans ain’t nearly as bad as heavy whipping cream. That shit has 32 servings per container, I usually get 5 servings per container. Try dividing by 32 and multiplying by 5 in your head first thing in the morning. It doesn’t work.

Dude, it is just fat, multiply the fat grams x 9 to get calories.
