    Is it safe to eat tuna everyday?

    I love tunafish and I can eat a can of tuna over salad everyday for lunch. I only had 2 cans this week but I was wondering what is a safe amount.

    You should be safe even with 2 cans a day --- perhaps more. Two cans per week should raise no concern at all.

    you can google how much tuna to consume, theres a "on the super safe side" chart on how much tuna to consume on the internet

    you probably knew that though....just in case you didnt though.....

    I don't recommend anything out of a can more than once a week. I stopped doing that this year, and feel sooo much better eating things that are fresh. If you like sashimi, try the tuna raw from a reputable chef - delish!

    For about 6-8 months I would eat 2 cans tuna a day for break/lunch and maybe one more just before dinner, and I saw my greatest increase in size at this point. I don't know what's safe and what's not but I didn't find any health changes in myself.

    Hmmm, I eat ridiculous amounts of tuna.

    I'll eat 4 of those 12 oz cans a week, which contain about 10oz of actual tuna each.

    I've been eating 40oz/week for several months and I haven't had any issues that I'm aware of.

    For the record, I eat Chicken of the Sea solid white albacore packed in water.

    I have eat canned salmon for meal #3 and canned tuna(not albacore) for meal #4 every day for the last five years with no known health problems.

    Research has shown albacore tuna is higher in mercury than regular tuna for an unknown reason.

    It's white tuna that's high in mercury. Light tuna is the safest of the two.

    Nevertheless, I eat a lot of tuna, and use to eat 2-3 cans daily for about 2 years. No problems to report.
