Eat the tuna. Your husband doesn't need to be your food warden.

I've been having a can of chunk light tuna (not the solid white) every other weekend and loving it.....that is a craving that is hard to resist.  I'm well below the recommended limit which I believe is approx a can each week, so all is good.

do it and enjoy!

Maybe try chicken from a can and make it the way you would tuna and see if it works.  If not have a tiny amount and then don't eat it again for at least 1 month.  Honestly  my friend was craving it all the time and was eating it all the time before she knew it was bad and her baby is fine.

Eat it and enjoy it! 

I must say though....YUCK!  DH isn't even allowed to open it in the house when I'm here, cause of the smell.

Go ahead and eat it! Also, I think you should mention to your DH that it's two against one.

You do know that you are allowed tuna, right? You just have to watch how much of it you eat.

Haven't you ever had a different dinner than your husband before? He can have this Pita Pit thing and you can have your tuna sandwich. Voila!

"

The FDA had released prior guidelines about safe fish intake, but the latest recommendations finally address tuna. Women of childbearing age, pregnant and nursing women, and children may:

* Eat up to 12 ounces a week of canned light tuna and other low-mercury fish, such as salmon, shrimp, catfish, pollock, and fish sticks.

* Eat up to 6 ounces of fresh or canned albacore (white) tuna. They have more mercury than light tuna.

* Eat up to 6 ounces of locally caught fish.

* Avoid large fish, such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish, which have the most mercury."

I eat all kinds of fish. I have to really be craving tuna to eat it though, and then I will only eat it with crackers. As long as you're not eating it everyday for lunch and dinner you will be FINE!

YUM!!!! I have been craving tuna melts like crazy!!  And like pp mentioned, it's 2 against 1

I eat a can of albacore tuna once every two weeks.  I don't like the chunk light.  I also crave tuna like crazy!  OB says its fine and website conquer.  EAT the TUNA!

Does he know that you're allowed to eat tuna?  Just not a lot of it.  I have a tuna sandwich from Jimmy John's every now and again (like once a month) and everything's great.  Besides, some fish is really good for you as long as you keep things in moderation.  The people on here to almost kill themselves over trying to avoid every little food drives me nuts.  

My doctor's advice?  "Just be smart."  Good rule in life.
