New tuna warning

Chitown chicChitown chic
in August 2011 Moms

Just came across this article on CNN's home page and thought I'd send along. I thought SOME packaged tuna was OK, but Consumer Reports is now saying women shouldn't eat ANY tuna during pregnancy.

I just bought some packaged tuna at the grocery store last weekend as a replacement for lunch meat, too!

What have your go-to lunches been since finding out you're pregnant?

    Oh wow! I too though Chuck Light Tuna was okay (just to stay away from white albacore).

    For sanwiches I have been eating chicken salad (made with canned chicken), and every once in a while egg salad. PB&J still works too!

    Interesting info-thanks for the link!!

    My boring go-to is PB&J on wheat. I think I am going to microwave some honey smoked turkey tomorrow morning and put it on a sandwich, I am craving turkey and chicken!

    Instead of deli meat paninis I've been getting mozzarella/basil paninis.  I'm not a huge tuna fan anyway but I'm trying to limit my shrimp/lobster eating.

    Interesting...thanks for this!!  I've just become nauseous as of yesterday, so sticking to plain bread & butter kinda stuff.  PB&J is a good idea- will try that today!

    YUM chicken salad, I am definitely going by the store on the way home. Chicken is such a strange craving!

    As I just scarfed down a tuna sandwich because it sounded sooooo yummy and I had just read not to have it more than once a week. I'll just take into consideration that I ate it before I heard new information. Stick out tongue

    I've been eating a lot of grilled cheese lately. Also, during first tri with DD I lived off peanut butter and crackers.

    Be careful with the chicken salad, ladies! I got a handout on lysteria from my Dr. and it said not to eat salads made in a store, such as ham, chicken, egg, tuna, and seafood salads. I assume because of them possibly not keeping it cold enough and/or cross contamination? I would think if you make it yourself, you are probably ok. I eat healthy choice cafe steamers (frozen dinners) for lunch. Don't know if that is good or bad...

    I've been eating the lean cuisine lunches - a bit high in sodium but i try not to eat too much salt beyond that the rest of the day. They've been my go-to-lunches right now but i haven't had to deal with too much of an upset stomach. Who knows how it'll change in the future?

    I've been eating salads or leftovers.  You could also try putting chick peas or the canned chicken on the salad for some protein.  That stinks about the tuna- I love it and not happy I can't have it for 9+months.  Oh well just one small sacrifice...

    LOL! I ate tuna, chicken salad, and deli meat all throughout my last pregnancy. While I can't stomach any of those things right now, I'm not going to cut them out of my diet completely this time either. Everything in moderation...
