Eating Canned Tuna

sabby2 · February 2014

Any other mamas out there eating canned light tuna? I have had probably 2-3 cans total in the 3-4 weeks I've known I was pregnant. While the smell isn't great it's one of the only protein sources that doesn't make me want to puke just thinking about it. However, eating tuna makes me feel like an evil mother because mercury and stuff.

Thanks, ladies. Common sense tells me I can, but you know, sometimes it's nice to just have some reassurance.

Now I want a tuna sandwich!

You're fine. I limited my tuna intake to 1-2 cans per week while pregnant.

Ya I just inhaled a Jimmy Johns tuna sandwich, thanks to the OP. My stomach is not happy with me now, but it was worth it.

Ugh, I've been craving one of these for weeks, but there isn't a JJ within a 50 mi radius of where I live

Am I the only one that does not like tuna?

@Sabby2, FYI, eating light tuna is better than eating white/albacore tuna. I forget the numbers from my first pregnancy (when I paid more attention to this kind of stuff); but as I recall, the mercury levels are something like twice as much in albacore as there is in the 'light' tuna (which cuts your allowable intake in half).

Thanks for the idea for lunch tomorrow!

I was told a few cans a week are fine. I love tuna too. Now I want some

Yep, definitely having a tuna melt sandwich for dinner now! Yum, chunk light with american cheese, bread and butter pickles and yellow mustard! Even though I just had lunch I might make one now...... :-)

Two lunches is okay, right?

You're all welcome. Now I really want a tuna sub from Jimmy John's.....

I have been craving reunions...I think that just got replaced by tuna melts.

Reubins not reunions autocorrect strikes again.
