Could add up to too much mercury IMHO, better switch it around w/ something else like canned salmon and stuff like that

**Trendkill** · 06-24-2005, 12:04 PM

Ya i eat the low fat breaded chicken breasts from presidents choice.
also regularly eat steak, chicken, ribs, pork, lamb chops. I mean i have one of these every night for dinner.
i love to cook

if you're on a budget then tuna as the mainstay is no prob... If you plan to get ready for a contest, then the last 3-4 weeks of your prep you should switch to chicken.

Tuna's been my mainstay for the last 6 years.

I reduced the amount i consumed last year when the monotony seemed to be irritating my stomach.

Recently i converted to mackerel... another canned fish... with support from casein, whey, some egg-whites and beef.

any benefit of eating oriental food?
pad thai and all those bamboo shoot dinner things.

I eat 4 (60z) cans a day and I have no problems with it. I would eat other stuff but the job the I have i cant really take chicken because I have no place to heat it up, ive tried eating it cold(cooked) but it doesnt work. If I were you I would switch it up from time to time, I think that would be your best bet.

**Dave321** · 06-24-2005, 04:11 PM

wow, I wish I had your tuna eating powers.

**crazle43764** · 06-24-2005, 09:44 PM

sorry i meant 6 oz. not 60 oz lol

**IronFreakX** · 06-25-2005, 02:54 AM

Holy shit if u were eating 4 60 oz cans ud end up with 1920grams of protein sweeet

I use chicken for 5 out of 6 meals 7 days a week no problems here....

I wish i could "love" eating tuna

**palumbo** · 06-25-2005, 06:33 PM

im not a big fan of the tuna but u gotta eat and besides theres so many things u can do with it or sauces that u can put on it cheap and effective

mercury isnt to big concern. Just make sure to eat plenty of vitamin c and other things that help get rid of mercury.

I sometimes eat 5 cans a day of tuna. Cheap protein

I used to love tuna in my fata$$ days beacuse I mixed it with lemon and mayo and eat almost a loaf of bread with it

Nowadays, when I don't even now what bread it is, I hate it

**Kärnfysikern** · 06-26-2005, 10:04 AM

when you can stomach the taste just drink it. Tuna shakes baby

**bor** · 06-26-2005, 10:07 AM

Oh I don't know the whola tuna diet coke thing sounds just downright awful!

I eat the tuna from time to time, maybe a can EOD, its just that I don't enjoy it all, and I used to...

**Kärnfysikern** · 06-26-2005, 10:09 AM
