Canned tuna

[idkwhyimherebutiam]

Is canned tuna a good source of protein what are the pros and cons

 

[trenace450]

It's ok
Pros: Very low in calories and almost pure protein, ideal in a cutting phase where you can't hit your macros.
Cons: tastes like shit, not a lot of nutrients aside from protein, very difficult to eat alone, usually needs to be combined with bread so it won't taste like shit

 

[bruhtoobrutal]

tastes like shit,

it taste fine if you just add some lime and light seasoning

Mercury poisoning from overconsumption.

Mercury poisoning from overconsumption.

Pretty difficult to get that unless you eat ridiculous amounts for months

FDA recommends up to ~340g of light tuna per week to avoid mercury poisoning if you're consuming it long-term.
So no, it is not difficult.

dont listen to the FDA it's a recommendation, they're not saying "YOU WILL GET MERCURY CANCER AT EXACRTLY 340G OF TUNA". Go read some actual literature, it's pretty difficult. And believe me, my body would be 100% mercury now if it was only 340g, i've eaten a kilogramme of tuna a week before with no issues

Do you eat the oil inside or just the fish ?

I buy mine in water but i'd probably avoid the oil that sounds disgusting

Wtv the liquid substance inside do you discard or eat it

 

[trenace450]

Wtv the liquid substance inside do you discard or eat it

Discard, it's just water but i guess it's a personal preference. If you wanna drink tuna juice then go right ahead

This is long-term, I eat kilograms of tuna too, but not consistently. FDA always gives a conservative estimate for what is considered absolutely safe. Yes, safe amounts will vary from person to person but I would err on the side of caution if I wanted to eat this indefinitely and that is what the recommendation is for.

The amount of mercury in tuna differs extremely on the type of tuna and the place where the tuna got caught.

The FDA says the following:

"Canned light tuna is in the “Best Choices” category and it is fine to eat 2 to 3 servings per week."

"Adults should eat no more than 6 ounces that week"

I think eating a few cans of tuna per week won't cause any complications tbh.

If you still want to eat a bunch of tuna consider going to the sauna and supplementing some kind of antioxidant.

Also eat foods high in selenium.

 

[Foreverbrad]

I prefer sardines, generally the smaller the fish the less heavy metal poisoning you get. Salmon is decent too but more expensive. Both are excellent micronutrients sources while tuna is not really.

"For adults (assuming a mean body weight of 70 kg), the limit threshold of 91 μg of Me-Hg is reached with a consumption of about 182 g/week of fresh tuna and 484 g/week of canned tuna" Not sure if i'm retarded, but how come there's way more mercury in fresh tuna than canned?

Good question, I think the difference is primarely caused by the fact that canned tuna comes from agricultures and fresh tuna possibly from the open sea.

just eat egg whites, almost the exact same amount of protein per 100 calories and doesn't taste like shit

(6 egg whites = 100cal 21g protein) (110g canned tuna= 100cal 23g protein)
