Tuna

[Lori]

Tuna's low cal, full of protein and pretty good for you.

But... I don't really like it plain, and I avoid mayo (even the low fat kinds).

How do you guys prepare/eat it?

[smalasussie]

I totally hear you. I like it...
1. flaked into a salad with some balsamic vinegar
2. mixed into kimchi
3. stir fried with a little yellow curry paste and veggies!

[weightlessrunner]

With Salsa.

[Veganelf]

No ideas, sorry. I absolutely love it plain out of the can.

[wetcardboardbox]

I mix it with nonfat plain Greek yogurt and add some curry powder to it.

MMM yum, I've done that before too, it was DELISH!! Thanks for reminding me!

I made an amazing discovery today. While we all agree mayo is the devil, I discovered that all it takes for half a can of tuna is like 3/4 of a teaspoon... which for lite mayo is about ten calories. I ate half a can like that piled onto three saltine crackers for a pretty filling meal with 23% of protein for 96 calories.

With red thai curry paste mixed with non-fat greek yoghurt and veggies. SO NICE!

[locknessmonster]

with WF mayo - 0 cals;)
or
with mustard - 0 cals;)

i hear once you try it with mustard...you never want mayo again but ive actually never tried it...im a vegan:cool:

but WF mayo is awesome!!!!
i thought it would be nasty but i really love it!!!!!:D

[sink-or-swim]

I add 1/2 tablespoon fat free sour cream and 2 tablespoons capers. Yummmmmmm!

[muffy]

If I'm rushed I'll eat it plain, with pepper, or with mustard.

I like it best on a salad, though.

Hellman's have an Extra Light mayonnaise. I think it's something like 74cal/100g, 11 cals in a tablespoon.

Otherwise, you could use fat free sour cream or plain yoghurt.

My mum's on a fat free diet, and she makes 0 fat "mayo" by mixing fat free plain yoghurt with a bit of mustard and black pepper. I haven't tasted it, but she says it's pretty close to actual mayo.

I also usually add some sweetcorn and/or beans (depending on how adventurous I'm feeling)

[Formonitrile]

I like to add mustard and/or sugar free pickle/juice then just eat it out of the can.
Sometimes I'll just eat it plain if I must, but all of these suggestions sound so delicious! I've got to try some~

[RainbowEyes]

I eat it mixed with a little bit of vinegar. I <3 vinegar xD. Sometimes I make the tuna-vinegar stuff into a sandwich by putting the it onto one piece of wholemeal low cal bread and folding it over, maybe with some lettuce on it too :). Seriously the vinegar bit sounds weird but it is SO NICE. Try it :p

[livelifemiserable]

Have it with lemon juice. It is good in the morning with lemon juice because lemon juice boosts your metabolism.

[blueteapot]

with mustard (can sometimes be too salty)
with lemon juice and capers (Mmm capers!)
with fat free greek yogurt (creamy!)
With all of the above (OMG SO AWESOME!)

I really need to get some more tuna....
I've never tried it with curry powder but that sounds awesome.

[Tubby]

i use mayo.

but i also like it with vinegar and/or pepper :)

[bestwishes]

my tuna: pepper, seasoning, and a couple carrots couple brocoli on the side

[BCherry]

Mustard and sriracha, a really hot chili sauce

[RainbowEyes]

i use mayo.

but i also like it with vinegar and/or pepper :)

Omg I'm not the only one who eats it with vinegar xD

Tuna is one of my latest addictions.

I used to eat it plain, but then I started mixing in hot mustard (I can't stand regular mustard) and I love it. I also add a lot of seasoned pepper and some seasoned salt (and sometimes garlic salt).

I eat it on one slice of whole wheat bread and I find it really filling.

[jessyyyissiqqq]

I just can't eat it without mayo! I really like having cut up pickles with it too but I try to avoid that because the mayo is enough.

Helllooo today's lunch! Sounds yummy.

Sometimes I like it with mustard, but too much makes it really bitter. I'll have to try it with greek yogurt sometime, too.

I use half a can of tuna drained and add some ginger, garlic, coriander, soy sauce, mix it all together and make into 2 burgers, place in the freezer for 10 mins to harden it all up and then using a 1 cal spray oil cook it in a frying pan for 2 mins on both sides and serve with either a salad or low calorie bread toasted.

Ouuu. Creative! Lol whats it like? Is it like a hamburger or something? Might try this!

I like my tuna with mustard like said plenty of times lol, with some pepper and hot sauce too.
Or walden farms salad dressings, any kind.

I gotta try it with salsa, and im drawn to the idea of vinegar lol i cant knock until i try!

[LRT]

yeah it's nice, yes I shape them into 2 small burgers, you could put them in a roll with lettuce or I just them on the plate with toast or salad

How do you guys prepare/eat it?

use a spoon of quark fat free chesse its really nice if you add a little sweetcorn and warm it.

[tweedledum]

Oh man I love tuna! I crush saltines in it and eat it that way, or mix mustard in it and put it on toast. (as you can tell i love salt, its bad!)

[not hungry]

Splash of soy sauce eaten slowly w chop sticks
