Excellent information guys, thanks. I'll continue to enjoy my Albacore/Avocado/Wheat sandwich with Cottage Cheese and Green Salad sides ;-)

Damn! That sounds good... I think I'll go whip up something like that right NOW!!!

Indeed it was Bob I decide to make a Broccoli/Cucumber/Tomato/Red Onion salad dressed with Balsamic Vinaigrette, a splash of Olive Oil, Black Pepper and Grated Parmesan Cheese. Good stuff man!

Mmmmmm.... Sounds good... The wife saw my post and whipped up a big salad with a bunch of fresh vegetables, chick peas, chicken breast, and a homemade oil and vinegar dressing that was to DIE FOR!

I'm so fortunate to have a wife that supports my diet and muscular development and is the head cheerleader on my team.

It makes it easier to lose weight and gain muscle when the spouse is on board with it and is as supportive as mine is.

Supper will be venison burgers on WW buns with a big slab of tomatoe on each burger and sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli...

Life is good and the waistline continues to SHRINK as the muscles GROW!

I've been eating these with my lunch M-F, and yes, they're fantastic. What's the consensus then with all the mercury/selenium, is five of these a week a few too many? Thanks!

IMO, yes.....waaay too much. I use to do the same thing and started getting painful cold sores on my tongue. I stopped eating the Tuna and the cold sores went away. Just to make sure it was the tuna, I tried again and as soon as I started eating Tuna, the cold sores came back, and then went away once I stopped....and this was with the cheap bumblebee tuna that supposedly has a lower concentration of Mercury. So in my experience I would highly recommend against eating the albacore tuna more than once a week. Try salmon or other freshwater fish.

Good luck finding a 'consensus' on anything in a public forum, but current research indicates that tuna isn't a good choice. Here's some info:

Hi, i have recently bought this tin. and i don't know how to use it.
can i directly heat and eat? or they are already cooked? if i want to re heat, how long i can keep in MW oven. please suggest.

also, is there a best way to consume this, like how to make salad or something with this tuna tin?

The salmon my wife prepares like she does Tuna, just substitute the tuna with the salmon.
Mix with Light mayo, onions, peppers, any seasoning and then spread on a sub roll or any type of bread, very good stuff.

does it have more of a fishy smell or taste than the tuna? I got a weird thing with fish, I can eat canned tuna but tuna prepared in like a chinese restaurant makes me sick and pretty much any other fish that has a fishy smell to it makes me sick. If i go into a red lobster Im green the whole time and cant eat. Im trying to find some kind of fish i can eat without getting sick.

I can not eat tuna anymore due to tuna trama from a previous insane cut... Years ago, I was in an office cube choking down raw,dry tuna out a can as my only lunch item when a co-worker came by and said: "You don't even put anything on it? That's so sad..." She looked at me with real pity in her eyes and walked away... I looked down and thought: this is sad... If I looked like Arnold it would have been okay as I would have slapped her girly ass then taken her to the movies... But I did not look like Arnold: I was too skinny from my cut...

Tuna trauma... don't let this happen to you!
