TakeTwo 4 Posted August 7, 2012 I love the bumble bee tuna chili spicy thai. I usually take it just on its own. I am 4 weeks post op and trying to avoid as much as possible carbs, my first thought was crackers but I realize those are so easy to take in and could become a slider food. So what do you take with your tuna? And if it is crackers which do you suggest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliKat 153 Posted August 7, 2012 i usually eat the same spicy tuna but when i get sick of it I make a bit of Tuna salad with greek yogurt, cheese, pickle relish and mustard. I love the Wasa Rye crisps (11g carbs/slice) and can only do a single cracker piled high with tuna for a meal.... so for me the trade off's are worth it. I dont watch my carbs as much as I should, but I also eat the multigrain "everything" flavor bagel thins with tuna for a quick bite and it works just as good (20g carbs for 2 crisps) 2 CantBelieve_IdidIit! and runner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoreganK 164 Posted August 7, 2012 My nutritionist pointed me in the direction of these tortillas from a company called La Tortilla. They have lots of different flavored tortillas to use for wraps and such. They're low carb, contain 5-8 grams of Protein, and are high Fiber. http://latortillafactory.com/products-3.aspx 1 misslisa810 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finding MeMe 204 Posted August 7, 2012 I add a chopped boiled egg with a little relish, salt, pepper and two tablespoon of mayo (The low fat kraft mayo with olive oil). I then make lettuce wraps just drop the tuna mix/flatten it in the middle of my lettuce and roll it twice. Yummy, yummy, yummy. 5 mschina415, DZ1RMQ, CantBelieve_IdidIit! and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JTmoas 19 Posted August 8, 2012 Try it with sliced cucumber. I had that this past weekend and it was really good and added a little crunch (like a cracker). 6 CantBelieve_IdidIit!, DZ1RMQ, mschina415 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleeveDreamer 383 Posted August 16, 2012 I buy the pouches of StarKist Sandwich Ready tuna. It is so good. It is mixed with mayo and very tiny diced cekery for some crunch ( so small you don't have to worry about the trings). I put it on a Wasa craker and 1/2 slice of murnster cheese and tick it under broiler til cheese tarts to melt and you have a great tuna melt. These tune pouches re great. They are 90 calories and the ouch does not have to be refrigerated until after opened. When I am out running errands or will be out awhile, I always take one with me. Just open and eat riht out of he pouch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
