What does tuna have?

[muscelove]

I know its loaded with protein but does it have omega 3 as well or any other healthy stuff?

Not really, tuna's major draw is protein protein and more protein with no carbs, virtually no fat, and no drain on the wallet.

great source of protein while cutting, alot of protein, very low fat and carbs. There are different types with higher fat contents. As far as the mercury levels go, albacore is said to have the smallest amount. When eating anything from the ocean, it'll probably have traces of mercury. I used to eat 6 cans a day for 3 months while i was on a bulking cycle. I did get sick about 2.5 months into it. I dont know what it was contributed to though, but as long as you dont overdo it, mercury in tuna shouldnt be a concern.

Canned tuna has extremely low levels of mercury. Its a great cheap protein supplement imo.

Canned tuna dont have much omega 3 in it as it is cooked and drained before packing. If you want omega 3, get the ones with omega 3 added to it. The normal oily ones contain some sort of veggie oil I believe.

problem is, tuna tastes like crap unless you mix it with mayo

 

[RuckstaR]

I mixed tuna with brown rice and it taste good and also has healthy carbs and calories...
