Craving Tuna Fish?

butterfly62682 · January 2011

For the past few days I have been craving Tuna Fish all day long. I have eaten it twice in 4 days. I really want again for lunch today. (I have no idea where Tuna Fish craving came from). What have your doctors told you? I know you are supposed to eat it in moderation. Is 3 times in a week moderation?

I have been craving Tuna as well but my dr. told me to limit it to a can a week and that's what I have been doing.

Once a week at most.

My husband is a science professor and keeps up with all scientific journals. There is a new one coming out recommending NO TUNA for pregnant women since the levels of mercury are higher than they once were. He is now the tuna Nazi!

This really sucks! Right now I could eat tuna for every meal.

This is so me too. I don't know what it is about pregnancy that makes me want it but it's been all three times. I would say one or two times a week max.

This. Also, my doctor told me that the "chunk light" tuna has lower mercury than the Albacore, so that's what I've been buying. I like it better, anyway, so it works out! I would definitely be eating it 2-3x per week if not for my doctor's advice...it's just so darn delicious!

Stick with light tuna and you should be okay.
