Thread: Tuna or Flavored Tuna

check the label, i cant say about the ones in pouches, but i've had flavoured tuna n a can before...it's good, but usually has less protein than regular tuna (15-25 instead of 25-30 in my experience)

It helps if you add the brand names on stuff, but if you go to Nutrition facts, calories in food, labels, nutritional information and analysis – NutritionData.com and you can maybe sort this one out. Check out the bluefin tuna ...

stick with bumble bee seems to have the most protien per can. the pouches have more crap in them, then the cans. also as some one else mentioned less protien.

i think both of them have the same nutrient value. the only difference is only the flavor.

nope actualy they dont read the package. the can typicaly is a larger serving size so it has more in it.

In addition to Bonecrusher's link (which is great) Fitday.com is a quick and easy reference as well.
(that almost sounded like spam, didn't it?)

Back to the fish....

For what it is worth, when expecting that I will be eating a lot of tuna, I have found that you get a better quality of tuna, and much less water, if you buy the large can (4lb., 2.5oz.) at Sam's. The little cans are really a rip off, as you normally get a lot of water and tuna that has been pulvarized basically.
