Per Dooce: snack on canned tuna … So I buy little cans of StarKist solid white albacore tuna and add a little flavor either with soy sauce or a spicy mustard. It’s 110 calories with 20 grams of protein, and I’ve never had a snack keep me so satiated between meals. Also, it helps my muscles recover after my workouts.
In-ter-esting.
Note also: Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials recommend that women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or who might become pregnant limit albacore tuna to one serving a week. These women should restrict their total consumption of all fish and shellfish each week to 12 ounces. Other adults may prefer to do the same because a few studies suggest a link between excess mercury in the diet and heart risks.
But for everyone except these women, current official recommendations consider slightly more white tuna and more total seafood each week safe. It should be noted that canned light tuna is lower in mercury than regular tuna, but it is an unreliable source of omega-3 fat.
