Too much tuna=bad for you?

[giantsfanftw]

I usually eat about 2 cans a day for the protein

2 cans a day should be fine, i think the only reason people say too much tuna is bad is because of the mercury poisioning which is in tuna..

I just eat the canned chicken instead

yea man 2 cans is fine. i've talked to a bodybuilder at my gym who ate 5-7 cans a day when he used to compete in order to cut. thats pry where it gets dangerous...haha

haha yea 2 cans are okay, mercury posioning is something I always here come up. I've actually seen a BBer here eating only TUNA for his diet.

Albacore is the tuna that has the murcury. Yellow Fin (chunk light) doesn't have it. It has some,most fish do, but nothing to be remotely worried about. I'd be more worried about the metal from the can.

I think you are fine, I do about the same. I've been told it's usually only a problem with the tuna extremists, if even then. I think the concern is blown out of proportion.

Just found this on google, not pro or con from me. Just something to look at.

I put my weight into their mercury calculator and it says I'm at risk once I start eating 9 pounds tuna in a week. The amount for albacore was much lower, though, as stated above.
