Use the can tuna. Use a blender and make a shake out of it. V-8 works just fine.

Eat it as fast as possible, drink water after every bite.

I use mayo, lime juice, seasoned salt, dried mustard, ground peppers, and onion powder.

When you make them into a shake, you can't taste the tuna. The blender grinds it up into nothing. Use only the tuna, not the added water or oil.

First off make sure you buy it in water! That helps... Next make sure you're draining that.

ketchup...or mix it in with mac and cheese. All you need is ketchup.

Albacore tuna taste a lot better, but cost more. It's better with the white cheese mac than it is with the others...

Kinda surprised nobody mentioned this yet.

The tuna producers have introduced foil packs for minimal liquid preservation of tuna and salmon. These inert lining foil packs are handy, the fish quality is superior and they can be packed easily for on the go use. The price is comparable or better than the canned stuff.

I buy small containers of high-quality flavored mustards to add to my tuna and salmon. Alternative is a wasabi based condiment, used sparingly (hot stuff).

I always get it in water and smother it in salsa !

Yeah I never thought of the ketchup angle..definetly gonna try it along with the new 'foil-packed' kind! Just the mayo thing isn't cutting it for me!

Put it between layers of pizza.

Posted by: IainDaniel

Ketchup isn't really the greatest condiment to be using.

Check the recipe section. I have a make your own mayo recipe in there made from soley EFA's.

I like to use balsamic vinegar.

Posted by: Gordo

olive oil
balsamic vinegar
lemon juice
seeded mustard (old fashioned dijon)
(All quantities are 1:1 so whether you use a tsp or TB is up to you based on diet).

+pinch of italian seasoning

Pour over tuna and mix well.
Great on chicken as well.

I do not care for the taste of tuna myself either. I have been mixing a couple of table spoons of natty peanut butter in with my tuna. I will add a little splenda to the mix as well. The PB does a great job of masking the fishy flavor.

Posted by: Tough Old Man

Ok guys I found the bomb today and it taste so good. I can of tuna drained. Mix with 2 tb of natural peanut butter and 1 tb of strawberry preserves. Yummy in your tummy.

Get the packet tuna...

It isn't as fishy as canned...

And I vote Salsa for cutting the taste if you dont like it
(either way, both ingrediants require no prep)

Reduced fat mayo, put it in a bowl, stir it up with a fork. Put that in 2 pieces of wholemeal bread with lettuce and tomato

Posted by: studen77

ya but remember bread is looked down upon, and ya i bought the canned stuff..ate some yesterday with salt/pepper + worshtishire sauce..it helped a small bit with the taste but I had SERIOUS gas/bloating..it just felt disgusting.

10-4, I love canned tuna, its easy to make straight from the can if your in a hurry. Steak is more expensive, and takes more time.

Posted by: redhottbaja

I could eat tuna everyday!! I absolutely love the stuff

Same here, i stink all day after eating canned tuna or salmon

You can try the tuna in a can with other stuff like: tomato and basil, sweet chilli, tomato and onion, lemon and cracked pepper, curry,olive oil.

Posted by: Lexluther

I usually strain the water, add a little mayo, and some chopped onions. sometimes I grab some crackers and eat it out of a bowl, sometimes I make a couple sandwichs out it... I never had any problem with fish. Why is bread bad?

Posted by: Mista

^depends what type of bread

Posted by: Mista

whole grain is far better than white

Posted by: Lexluther

Well I always liked regular white bread. I know theres healthier breads, but didnt think any particular breads were bad.

How many of the canned tuna, would a person need to "consume" daily to get enough protein? The can says, I think, around 28g of protein total.

The proper equation is A/28=X
Where A is the total amount of protein grams you need per day
and X is the number of cans that contain 28g of protein.

So if you need 200g then 200/28=7.1428571 cans

Posted by: Lexluther

I know this, but is 200g the amount of protein the average person needs each day?.. Or did you just use it for an example?.. My question was how many grams of protein do we need a day.

There is no one answer other than "It depends." and that means it depends on your goals, your current mass, and your bodies ability to use the protein. In general, it is suggested that you get between 1g and 2gs of protein per pound of body wt. It also depends on the source of the protein.

Thats alot of tuna.

Posted by: Lexluther

I know this is off the subject, but what is "flaxseed oil" all about? I have noticed it a few times in a couple peoples diets. Will it help in weight gaining?
