Ugh, Tuna Ideas?

[Dths]

I find it hard to stomach down tuna but its cheap and its effective and really I think 1 can a day makes my diet that much better.

However I am currently having trouble finding ways to make it not awful. I have been making tuna salad and while this is good I can only eat it in a sandwich or on crackers (not sure if the carbs here at lunch should be avoided or not) currently I am avoiding the carbs at lunch so I am forcing myself to down the tuna on its own.

Are there any decent quick ways to make it easier to stomach?

I guess I'm lucky because I like it straight out of the can


but you can try adding hot sauce, bbq sauce, lemon, throw it in a salad with your favorite dressing, make a tuna melt, etc..

so many options

Regular, low fat, or no fat mayo (depending on your macros).

Same goes for BBQ sauce. Walden Farms makes pretty good 0 cal bbq sauces.

I also throw in little bits of iceberg lettuce, and I enjoy it when everything is really cold. But that might be just me.

Again depending on your macronutrient and caloric needs, but throwing in lettuce and a wrap can make a nice tuna wrap.

I mix it with my cottage cheese, and it tastes awesome.

Pretty much double the protein.

[tha-shiznit]

I like the idea but I would venture to say not many people can handle this. Most people at my work (none of them bodybuilders though) despise BOTH cottage cheese and tuna...wont even eat em!

Edit: this was regarding the CC + Tuna idea.

2 Cans of Tuna
3 Eggs
Adobo
Paprika

Beat the eggs, then throw in the tuna + condiments into the same bowl and mix. Put a spoonfull in at a time into a hot pan and cook for about a minute on each side.

This is how I like it personally in a sandwich, but reading suggests I should be avoiding carbs at lunch and only having them at breakfast/supper.

Could be wrong I have been monitoring wieght loss etc while I try it out.

No carbs? No problem:
+ olive oil, ground/diced tomato, diced onion, black pepper/basil/oregano
or
+ lemon juice, black pepper
or
+ safflower oil, parmesan cheese
or
+ melted cheddar, dill weed

Carbs are fine, the reason I thought not to eat any mid day was wrong, So I will stop worrying about that.

Damn, didn't notice that.

Cut back on the fruit and fruit juice (the berries are pretty low in carbs anyway).

Bump up the oil and use some of those crystal light flavorings and blend the heck out of it and consume.

Cut up a cup of Broccoli into small pieces
Cut up 1 spring onion into pieces as well
Open 2 cans of tuna in water and drain the water

In a blender, break two full eggs and add 2 eggwhites

Throw in the tuna, broccoli and spring onion.
Add some seasalt or.... if you have it, 2 teaspoons of "The Keg" steak seasoning.

Blend everything till it's smooth.

Heat a skillet with Pam or Olive oil.
Throw in your mix and fry like an omelet.

Enjoy.... the tuna is now barely noticable, there's 60Grams of protein in here.
Add Olive oil, bacon, etc if you want some fat in there or fry it with cubes of red potatoe to make it more like a full meal.

I just took it out the can, drizzled it in mayo and olive oil and chowed down. Tasted very good, quality macro aswell

Many may find this weird, but I love it with vinegar! I eat it right out of the can. I just add vinegar and I'm golden
