Tuna Can go to HELL!

[Bertuzzi]

Ok, I know I probably should put this in the diet section but it is also fitting for the lounge, so here I go.

I can't handle tuna and never have been able to. I choke it down with lemon and pepper just because I have to. I am trying to sub Imitation crab meat and imitation lobster. I just tried some straight out of the pack and its not bad, but I can't eat it just plain. What should I put on this stuff to make it taste better and still keep it legit for my cutting? I need some serious help.... I am struggling with this meal everyday.... Any substitutes or ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

eat chicken boob intead of chicken of the sea
if you don't like it, why eat it?

[LatissimusaurousRex]

you don't HAVE to eat tuna, the mercury levels in tuna make it unsafe to eat more than 2 cans a week. Light tuna has lower mercury levels.

[Bertuzzi]

I eat a lot of chicken a lot of eggs (mainly whites) and lots of cottage cheese. I just have a tough time finding high protein moderate fats and very low carb meals.... I can't think of much else other than tuna or crab. I also eat 7oz filet mignon almost every night with asparagus and broccoli.

I love Tuna, I eat about 3 cans a day. I buy it in cans with Brine liquid. I just open the can and grab a fork.

What's all this talk about Mercury... ? Am I f***ed if I eat 3 cans of Tuna per day? It's such an easy way to get protein!

[Mooseman33]

and mercury poison.....

As someone already pointed out, you don't HAVE to eat tuna (I hate it too, mostly because I hate the smell but I don't like canned foods anyway). You can make burgers with ground turkey breast, or eat chicken breasts (as someone else mentioned before)...there are lots of options for relatively low-calorie and low-fat sources of protein, you just have to think outside the box sometimes.

Model pretty much said it all.

Ummmm.... This I already know.... I guess I am already eating other the other possible foods and there are no substitutes... I guess I'll live with it. Thanks

about 75% of all mercury exposure to people in the US comes from fish
mercury from nature and polloution gets absorbed by small fish and gets concentrated the further you go up the food chain.
Tuna is really high on the food chain...but you know who's higher? you
so mercury can build up in your system if you eat a ton of high on the food chain fish.

if you want to see what the FDA thinks is safe

I put it on a rice cake with mustard. still tastes like sh*t but it makes it more tolerable. I also mix it with brown rice and mustard which tastes good to me.

I just stuff it into my mouth and have a glass of water to wash it down.

[alexISthrowed]

I eat a tuna sandwich for lunch every day and im still kickin.

[lovbyts]

I mix a little salad dressing and some pickle relish, makes it tasty.

[feeldapump89]

Tuna with a little bit of low fat mayo along with diced pickles slap it in a sandwhich and your in business brother! I eat at least 1-2 cans of tuna daily mercury aint going to scare me off.

[LatissimusaurousRex]

I suggest doing a little research on mercury poisoning, eating fish is the #1 cause.

[feeldapump89]

I just watched a documentary about the damage is causes in japan. Where they eat whale and dolphin with very toxic mercury levels I am fully aware of the damages at hand.

[nothingtoitbuttodoit]

is this mercury thing that bigger deal? becuase i was having 2 cans a day but have no limited it to 6 cans a week

[LatissimusaurousRex]

idk, when i was in iraq i ate tuna like everyday and im fine. i can't garuantee you, you'll get mercury poisoning, but I just don't think you'd want to put yourself at the risk. it's your guys lives though, you can do what you want...

[Phate]

personally i can't stand tuna by itself, but for some reason i love using tuna with a little light miracle whip and tons of fresh lettuce mixed together to make my own "tuna salad"

i don't know why but the freshness and crunch from the lettuce just makes it amazing

[stack_it]

Pickle relish does wonders for tuna. I don't mind it plain tho.

[Vitruvian-Man]

I despise tuna. Can't handle the stuff. Haven't had a can in 4 - 5 years. Way too gross, lol.

[dec11]

lol, i feel your pain. i mix alittle tomato ketchup with it and chop raw onion in there also. its also nice with soft boiled egg and mixed up in a bowl

[taiboxa]

theres this one brand of flax oil that had a really good flavor to it.. i'd mix it w/ my tuna in a can every night.. fairly good eats.. then i couldnt find it any more.. and i tried like 10 different brands and they all suckd BOLLOCKS

[Darksyde]

[dec11]

I hope this is being taken before bed time, and its light cottage cheese.

On another note, I put lots of pepper on my tuna when I eat it plain.

If that doesn't work for you try hardening the **** up :P

Thanks for this one... it sounds good. I am gonna try it this week. Hopefully it goes well.

Glad to see many others dislike tuna.

[energizer bunny]

i hate tuna......lucky if i can stomache 1 can a week!!!

[F4iGuy]

Good to know that the better tasting tuna (chunk white) contains more mercury than the gross, mushy, substance called chunk light.

WTF! Chunk light is NASTY! Hey mercury

Looks like canned chicken it is
