Panini & Tuna not bad at all

[Baxter]

I got some panini rolls from the co-op. It makes a nice pro/carb meal or snack.

1-panini
1- can tuna drained
1 tsp of low fat mayo
onion, didnt measure that.

Mix it and put in the panini. Throw in the oven for 10min or so. just untill crisp. Tastes fantastic to me. First time i'v had one.

Nutritional value for panini
1 roll at 125g
12.75 protein
57.5 carb
1.3 fat

Tatal for everything not including the onion.
46g Protein
57.5g Carbs
1.9g Fat
431.1 kcal

Makes a good snack, only problem is 10min later im hungry again. But its better then being bloated from the food. Dahm oats

where did the extra protein come from in your total? a panini hasnt that much protein has it?

[bhamstaff]

i thought 1 tin of tuna is around 25- 30 grams of protein.

My can of tuna has 32.6g protein drained. Yup thats how much protein those panini's have. Got them from the co-op. i'll have a look at some others from a different shop to compare protein. I know thats not 46g protein, just rounded it up. Its more like 45 point something.
Carbs and fat are dead on though.

what size can of tuna you using.

[bhamstaff]

i use a 130gram size tin. its tescos own make, costs 29p a tin, it has 25gram protein per 100grams. usually the john west has 30grams protein per 100grams, but more expensive. surprised panini had tht much protein

How often a day should you eat snacks like that? I'm afraid of the gut gettin too big!

[Baxter]

bhamstaff, yours would have 32.5g protein for the full tin, or something like that.
i might get some of that john west if pennys allow lol

wubba123, im not sure fella. i'm gonna have 1 before every workout. Tell ya what. i felt like king kong working out today. i had to stop after 30min cause i pulled a muscle in my neck. even after a stretch and warm up. i had the energy but i pushed myself too hard.
