    No it's not. That's what I eat on average. When I'm on a tight budget I comsume 3-4 cans per day easy.

    the risk is overstated, unless you're a pregnant woman or a child.

    Tuna at least once a day is a great idea. Make sure you eat from a variety of sources of protein like red meat, chicken, whey, casein, etc etc. This way, your amino acid profiles are constantly chaning, which in turn is better for building muscle. Your body will get used to the amino acid profiles in tuna if it is consumed too much.

    Here's a website where you can calculate how much is safe according to the FDA...it's less than you might think.
