Need ideas for canned tuna



Recommended Posts

I need some ideas for how to eat canned tuna without cooking it. I'm not crazy about tuna and mayo, so I was curious if anyone has any tricks for dressing up plain canned tuna?

I add a little bit of Oikos greek yogurt dip and a spoonful of Pickle Juice.< /p>

Try this one if you like Italian and don't put it on the bread: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/tuna-gribiche-crostini-50400000120571/

This one looks good too if you like asian: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/asian_tuna_salad/

I also like mine with a little mustard and green onions. Sometimes I shred a hardboiled egg and add it for flavor.

I use plain Greek yogurt (instead of mayo) with a bit of mustard and relish and a dash of garlic powder.< /p>

The only tuna I can eat is the lemon pepper by bumble bee. I sort of despise tuna, but I like that kind. I also hate mayo.< /p>

I do make mine with light mayo but you can use sour cream or Greek yogurt. I mix in chopped onion, sweet bread and butter pickles diced (in Splenda), and crystals brand hot sauce. It's so delicious! Sweet, spicy and tangy.

I despise tuna so I've been doing canned chicken & making chicken salad with extra boiled eggs for added Protien. Celery salt is key. Yum-O

Here's a great recipe for a tuna and white bean salad! Very refreshing and different!

I make two versions:

- With FF sour cream and horseradish

- With FF sour cream and shredded ff cheese and heated in the microwave so the cheese melts a bit.

Oh god, am I ever going to finish with the liquids portion of my new life? :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
