    tuna with vegetable oil?

    guys as my protein/fat meal early am after cardio or 2 hours before napping i will usually have some tuna in water with a tablespoon of mayo or tablespoon of olive oil. was wondering if i can just have the tuna w veggie oil. isint this just as good. they use soya oil approx 9g fat? rather than use the tuna/water only to add mayo or olive oil for fat.

    try

    you should try the new sunkist that's tuna in sunflower oil. it also comesin a bad versus a can, so it's easier to take to work for meals.

    I would not think the vegetable oil would be a good choice. Maybe someone else can confirm.

    As always, there are better choices, but I think that the vegetable oil would be in every way just as efficient as mayo, if not more so.

    Ya, when I do get fat from a source like that I also try and balance it out with a healthy fat.

    I have done it and enjoyed it. The tuna is not so dry and the taste is definately do-able considering what many of us eat. My brother and I are currently sharing the stock of tuna and he does not like it (even though I do not think he has tried it) so I only have tuna in water. When I live alone again though I will buy half and half.

    Of course, I am not a diet guru so I can be waaaaaaay off.

    Thnx bro! And I think the olive oil is a good choice, the vegetable oil is easier since it comes in the can, but not as good for you.
