Tuna tip

Choose a tuna packed in water, not in oil to reduce calories. Chunk light tuna has less mercury than albacore tuna and is the better tuna option. Pregnant women and children should limit chunk light tuna to 12 oz per week and albacore tuna to no more than 6 oz per week due to the higher level of mercury that may be harmful to young children and a fetus. Tuna and salmon are also both great sources of heart healthy Omega 3 fatty acids.
