Tuna Salad Sandwich

in Pregnant after a Loss

Can someone provide a bit of insight into the "to eat, not to eat" tuna situation?  We bought solid white albacore tuna for sandwiches this week.  I know the FDA says to limit the serving to 6 oz. a week (a can is about 3 oz.).  But then it also says to limit to one serving.  So...stay with me here...if I use one can to make sandwiches for the week, could I eat the sandwiches all week and be OK since I am still staying under the 6 oz. a week?  Or just one sandwich, since that is one serving?

Or...just avoid the tuna altogether?  I really want the sandwich!!

    Limit to oz, not servings. My doc said as long as I'm not eating more than a can of tuna a week I'm fine.

    I agree with MrsAtch & her doc. I let myself have tuna once every week or two. Which is really hard because I LOVE tuna fish!!!

    No more than 1 can a week. I love tuna and I hate mayonaise so I mix mine with hummus. Top with lettuce, tomato, salt & pepper and swiss cheese. Milwaukee dill pickle on the side. YUM.

    Dang it. Now I am hungry.

    I'm the same with mayo (yuck!) but I've never tried it with hummus!  Have you tried it with pureed cauliflower?  It's actually pretty good (with the added vitamins in the cauliflower!)

    Lol, no, I don't like cauliflower that much- it makes me too gassy!

    But, I have had it mixed with sour cream as well or ranch dressing.

    It's the ounces you should be concerned about.

    I had a tuna sandwich last week and it was delicious - I used a can (smaller than a regular can) of the flavoured tuna and I plan on having another one this week!

    This.  I also only use chunk light tuna (the cheap stuff) as it has a lower mercury amount than albacore.

    Me too!  Is it sad that the highlight of my next 24 hours will be lunch tomorrow?
