I don't really like tuna by itself but I love tuna salad. Since you can't eat mayo since you're trying to eat healthy, maybe try just adding relish/cucumber/peppers etc? That would probably make it better.

I open tuna, strain the fuck out of the water with the lid by squezing it for a few minutes a few times over the sink.
Then I get about a tsp of mayo, 1-2 tblsp of mustard, tsp of tabasco sauce, and a bit of pepper. Mix it all up and put it on toasted bread or put it on regular bread with cheese and melt that shit.

so bomb

and the best part is I don't even dirty a dish, just a butter knife.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

In keeping with my resolution to do something I'm not good at every year (so I don't feel like a hypocrite when I tell my students to do whatever _they're_ not good at) I've started following the fitness thread, working out and lifting weights and eating like an amateur bodybuilder.

The food is absolutely disgusting but it lends me an air of moral superiority when I tell my students to shut up and memorise their spelling list. Not to mention the curl of my lips from the taste of the low fat milk (I abhore milk) I force myself to drink has a menacing effect on children below the age of 12.

The tinned tuna is the worst, though. Since protein builds muscle and tinned tuna is a cheap source of protein, I have to eat at least 3 tins a week. It's dry (ironic, since it's packed in water), tasteless (ironic, since it's preserved with salt) and really feels like I'm eating soggy cardboard.

I think tuna, knowing that they are the living, swimming equivalent of a protein shake, have cunningly evolved to taste like shit when cooked and canned. But it seems quite vindictive to inflict suffering on the guy who _didn't_ kill them _after_ they're dead.

The only kind of tuna I love is maguro sashimi/sushi, but it's so devilishly expensive. I can't wait to cover enough moral high ground so I can go back to being a geek. But until then...


What BreaK and daz said are some of the things you can do to make it less disguisting. Hopefully you know that chicken is another good source of protein, as well as sardines. Protein shakes are good as well, but again, it might disgust you.

Lol though I've never heard someone expressing their disgust for tuna and low fat milk the way you did. I do some body building and yeah I don't like tuna that much but it's something you get used to.

try all different brands some are really dry/tasteless like you described and others are more "wet" and easier to eat. just find a brand that you like.

Why not eat fresh fish. I don't think canned tuna is nearly as good health wise. There's also a lot of mercury in canned tuna.

I hate canned tuna, I opt for canned salmon, a little bit more fat in it, but well worth not vomiting every time I eat.

Although admittedly, these days I am eating so bland due to my cutting diet that I don't even care what I eat or what it tastes like anymore.

I would rather eat fresh fish, the trouble is that tuna is just so much easier to prepare. No cooking involved. I also love salmon, but tuna is really cheap. Maybe I'll look a little harder in the supermarket and see if I can find a good compromise.

The tuna I'm eating now is the second cheapest I can find. It's actually not bad compared to the cheapest. When I was eating the cheapest tuna, even my cat wouldn't eat it. Now when I open a tin the cat tries to grab a nibble.

And yeah, I always go for the low fat, low salt tins.

You can always try canned chicken. Somewhat close nutrition wise, but it's a lot more moist and it tastes...well, exactly like chicken. Depending where you are, it may even cost roughly the same amount.

Here when a girl is ugly you call her a tuna ( well a "thon" in French ) and it is highly offensive. Kinda off topic but i think it is funny lol.

Btw i like roasted tuna. It tastes very differently than fishes. More like beef.

Also tinned tuna isn't that bad imo.

I don't understand why you can't have mayonnaise? maybe if you're overweight, but if not then get as many calories as you possibly can when working out ... i don't like tuna or smoked salmon or stuff like that without mayo and pepper, try lemon juice and creme fraiche as well.

Eat beans (so much variety and different uses) ... don't eat tuna. My bro has made a ridiculously good bean salad before.
