Tuna Talk

Most of the fat in albacore tuna is healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Increasing your intake of this type of fat is associated with increased fat-burning and enhanced recovery.

Replace the light mayo in your tuna salad with reduced-fat (2%) Greek yogurt, which is high in protein and lower in fat. To boost the protein even more, mix in a chopped hard-boiled egg. Add grated carrots for crunch and scoop the salad into celery stalks for a low-carb snack or lunch.
