Check the label it should be there. Also note that various brands will have different values. the main reason in they might use different parts of the fish, and they might use different species. This can make a significant difference so do take note (eg. I can get two cans of tuna here with one 23% protein and the other 28% protein, both marked as light meat chunk tuna).

Yo. Good question. Cuz, according to my tuna cans, it contains 5 servings of 15 grams of protien. That's 75! But i just think "That can't be right can it?" I mea, i don't have the small cans, i have the regualr sized ones. I usaully eat the whole can just to be safe, but i do notice that my next piss is often misty, so i think perhaps it dos pack 75 grams, because it seems to cause alot of urea. I do drink a ton of water everyday, so i'm not dehydrated. By pisss is usually clear.
What sized cans are you guys refering to, and how many servings is in each can?

its not possible to have 75 grams of protein in a can of tuna...tuna is usually 13grams in a can and its 2.5 servings per can... so thats like 33 grams per can..... UNLESS u have one of those huge cans... then its a lil more....but its DEF not 75....someone's reading it wrong

Yep i just checked. I have the 12 ouncers. They pack about 75. Gosh, tuna must beincredibly dense to pack that much protein in a can. But then again, i guess 12 ounces of anything is close to 75 grams. But tuna looks so much samller than a 12 ounce steak.

I just checked some of the smaller 6oz cans that I had in my kitchen. One is Chunk Light with 2.5 servings per container at 13g/serving (32.5g total) and the other is Albacore with 3 servings per container at 15g/serving (45g total). So it depends a lot on the kind you have.
