Hey guys, which one of this two has a better nutritional value for a fat loss diet, I'm interested in the one containing les fat and less mercury levels,thank you.

All water packed tuna is basically fat free and has the name nutrition facts -
1 170g can will provide 120g of tuna when drained and provide 120 calories, 30g protein, 0g carb, 1g fat.

Always purchase light or skipjack tuna. The skipjack fish is actually a very small fish and has very little mercury. It is safe to eat on a daily basis. It is also the cheapest variety of tuna to buy.

Stay away from albacore tuna as it has the highest mercury content.

fish in a can will never taste even close as fresh fish sorry. i catch my own fish, clean and cook them.

i highly recommend you learn how to fish. no matter where you live there are ways to catch your own

I always get skipjack in water. It contains less mercury than the other varieties.

When in contest prep I get the canned tuna in water. But to be honest, I hate it, haha

Tuna is better, so I would rather go with it. As for the mercury, I think people overplay that thing with fish. Even if there is mercury, it will be found in minimal amounts that will not cause such damage to your health. Believe you me, you breath in considerably more toxins and heavy metals in a city full of cars and manufacturing plants.
