**thajeepster** · 02-21-2005, 08:20 PM

dump in a little oats, 1 egg white, and fry it with some pam. tuna patty.

There's someone around here who swears by Tuna and Peanut Butter although I must confess I've always been too sober to try it.

I either make my own EFA mayo or I use the Walden's Farm dressing.

**musclepump** · 02-21-2005, 08:42 PM

I tried fat free mayo once... once...

**ReelBigFish** · 02-21-2005, 08:57 PM

fat free yogurt with some seasonings isn't bad or cottage cheese is good to me.

Make a tuna melt in a l/c tortilla. I personally like La Tortilla Factory.

Mmm...and chicken quesadillas.

Just eat the tuna, then eat the bread.

Don't eat Tuna more than a couple of times per week. In general Tuna (from a can or any other form) is one of the fish that has high levels of mercury in it.

This is what I've been saying all along, but people are like; "no, tuna does not have mercury in it, etc.."

Anyways, I like my tuna with OLD bay a little mayo and sam sweet relish.

A can of tuna a day is not going to hurt you. Canned Tuna, such as Chunk Tuna have only trace amounts of mercury. Canned Albacore has much more mercury. The larger the fish the more mercury and chunk tuna has very little.

Santerre used a mercury analyzer to test over 250 cans of fish, including five brands of tuna, two brands of salmon, and two brands of mackerel for mercury. (The four types of tuna were light tuna in water, light tuna in oil, white/albacore tuna in water, and white/albacore tuna in oil.) He also tested them for levels of omega-3s. He found that salmon and mackerel were lower in mercury and higher in omega-3s than tuna, and that white/albacore tuna tended to have higher levels of mercury than chunk light tuna, though the white/albacore was also higher in omega-3s. "There are types of tuna, for us it was chunk light tuna in water, that had extremely low levels of mercury, as low as you would find in a salmon or mackerel product," he says. "We would recommend that these be eaten by pregnant women, nursing women, young children." Santerre says the albacore tends to be higher in mercury because, "as I understand it, they'll be an older fish, maybe a different species, and so they'll be exposed to mercury throughout their life and so they'll accumulate more."

No, but seriously chickens are a very dirty animal. They are one of the few animals that humans consume that eat their own poop. If you ever saw the conditions on a commercial chicken farm, how dirty and foul (no pun intended) the conditions are, you'd probably cut back on that too. Garbage in, garbage out.

I know, I try to get free range as much as the budget allows.
