Tuna =/

[justinmilne]

So I just bought a different brand of tuna and realized that I have been getting 4oz of actual tuna per can instead of 5oz. The net weight includes water and I have been having phantom proteins in my diet....=/ The can was unclear so I figured they didn't include the water in the net weight.

Just a heads up guys

[Robsolutely]

So, you missed out on 6.5 grams of protein that you thought you were getting. Not that significant to worry about kid. You're probably getting too much protein anyways.

I don't eat meat out of a can but thanks for the heads up

well some days I eat like 5 cans....so it does add up.

Given your stats, I don't think you know how much protein is enough.

5 cans of tuna... wuutt... that's not really healthy because there are some bad metals in fish

Calling people out?

ehh-read the post, it was warranted

How so?

[OregonLife]

tuna with cottage cheese is where its at

[justinmilne]

it's condescending first with "kid" then "You're probably getting too much protein anyways"

implying I have no idea what I'm doing.

I disagree, but perhaps I missed the recent study that shows a correlation between body composition and nutritional knowledge.

I'll have to try that. I've mixed a lot of things with cottage (including diet coke), but not tuna...sounds like dinner

you really need a study to tell you that?

[FitnessSage]

You tuna lovers do some googling about tuna and mercury, you shouldn't eat so much of it if you don't want health problems after a few years!

ability to sense sarcasm, not even once.

Wow, you're a huge dick aren't you.

He may be 40-50 years old, a lot of people out of your age and mine browse here and posts here and may call you "kid" or "sonny", it's not out of the norm that it happens.

And you maybe are getting more than enough protein anyway, you do know that studies have said that 0.6-0.8g of protein per lb of bw was more than enough to retain muscle mass.

Relax, no one's here to put you less of what you think you are.

inb4 you attack me because I'm only 160lbs and 5'9.

Are you really implying that one needs to be big to know something about nutrition?

I guess the years I have studying in health science, then biochemistry and nutritional science has no relevance since I'm not aesthetically qualified.

Close them books and hit the gym brah.
Do you even lift?
Etc.

You're eating 5 cans of tuna a day. You cant figure out the macros of what you're eating from the can it came in. You have no idea what you're doing.

Out of curiosity, how much protein are you consuming daily?

[kenny85]

Out of curiosity, how much profoods are you consuming daily?

prob 5 cans of tuna and 5 protein shakes. You know... " bro foods "

[changda]

I only eat brown rice, chicken breast and brocolli. Why am I not losing fat?

jk

[softpounder]

OP be like:

[weiss1967]

very entertainy thread. About tuna, I don't know how you can eat this canned stuff? Buy frozen whole fish, and eat raw. Perhaps best-tasting protein source ever.

[MatSalleh]

lmao how does one eat that much tuna and not get sick of it. May I ask what you eat it with?

[snorkelman]

Hey look for the [cans of tuna that say] ..."mercury free"

[justinmilne]

I don't even know where to begin. "some" days 5 cans, I'm glad you all can read.

240 g protein a day for me, your "study" sounds like bs and most likely conducted on non active 55 year old men, and there really is something to be said for if you know what you're talking about-then you'll look like you do...a fat personal trainer is probably going to be broke.

Great value tuna is not labeled very clearly and was ambiguous as to the amount of tuna vs water contained in the can. I tried to give you guys a heads up, but apparently you'd rather make a mockery of it.
