I just happen to have some Tuna on my desk ....... the regular size can Jodi is referring to is 6 oz's . 2oz is the recommended serving size on the can.

It's typically the albacore tuna that has more mercury than the chunk.

you know, I eat this shit everyday and I hate it. I choke it down because I know it has good fat, as well as a healthy portion of protein. I still hate the shit. I devour it in 4 tbsp, I hate it so much.
