Thread: What to eat with Tuna?

I would eat two cans with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, two tablespoons of olive oil = around 200 cals I think.

Add 1/4 cup of almonds, and glass of skim milk.

Almonds = 200 cal
1 cup of milk = 90 cal
Sandwich = 290 cal

Total = 580 (close enough)

2 cans of tuna at a time? way overkill...the average can has 30g +

I wouldn't necessarily call 50-60g of protein WAY overkill. In fact, I take in ~300g of protein per day, so that averages to 50 per meal. Whether that much is necessary is certainly debateable, but for one meal, I think it's alright.

whole wheat pasta, brown rice, ect.

or poor kid's meal with easy mac, not exactly body friendly

oil - whole wheat bread ,vegetables , potatoes , tomatoes , onion , ....
