Tuna, plus....?

[WSUcougCaleb]

I'm sure most people doing at least a moderate amount of training have picked up on the tuna staple. Cheap, good source of protein (etc), and very simple to prepare.

What do you guys put in/add to your tuna to spice it up, add even more nutritional benefits, ... whatever?

I think a lot of people have had mayo added at some point or another. Do any of you find that to be counter productive?

I like adding maybe half a table spoon of the omega3 mayo that kraft makes, a full table spoon of relish, and a healthy dose of mustard. Today I dumped in some original flavored goldfish crackers to add some garbs to my snack.

Hot sauce... excellent

mayo onion relish cheese celery mustard tomato lettuce chips... well you can put anything in it, for god sakes that guy puts hot sauce in it!

If you're going for simplicity a bit of lemon juice can be really good straight into the can.

Try Light Zesty Italian Dressing. Amazing.

Tuna + milk = enough complications for me.

During a bulking phase i do this
1 can tuna
1 package Ramen noodles (minus the flavor packet)
diced jalapeno peppers
diced onion
small amount of mayo (omega 3 variety)
small amount of sazon and adobo for seasoning
and a bit of honey
mix it up and eat it straight or put it on bread. Great for bulking phase and may sound nasty but is actually really good.

Miracle whip for me. Not sure why but to me its pretty good.

[HATETANK]

Hot sauce.. Mustard.. Low fat Sandwich Spread... All kinds of things you can put in there.

Tuna Cakes ( this makes one serving)

1/2 cup tuna ( I like to use the spicy flavored tuna packet)
1 egg white
4 oz sweet potato mashed
chopped green onion
splash lemon juice
pinch of fresh parsley
dash cayenne pepper

Mix all together and form into a patty. Cook in pan with oil or cooking spray. Brown on both sides. Pretty good!

[poopstain]

Instead of using mayo/miracle whip/etc., I use plain yogurt. It works well to hold it all together and tastes decent too.

Good stuff guys. I have been getting flavored tuna (herb & garlic) and I actually really like it. Lately I have just been eating it right out of the packet. I do like to mix it with a cup or so of non fat cottage cheese as well. A LOT of good protein - eating that makes me thirsty so I end up drinking roughly 32 ounces of water with it.

It doesn't get much more covenant than that which is better than McDonald's if you are busy.

2 cans of tuna, 1 cup of low fat cottage cheese, some sugar free relish, black pepper, garlic powder. That's what I do most.

I just tried it in my dorm earlier today, and I now have a new staple food. This is awesome.

[BigDanny817]

tuna on wheat bread with 2 slices of cheese something like 650 calories and 50 protein

That would depend on the tuna, the cheese, and the bread.

2 cans of water packed tuna (usually 8oz total after drainage) have 52g protein.

Bit of camembert cheese goes nice ! - Love my Tuna
