What's up gang? If I eat tuna its in the form of tuna fish (eggs, mayo, canned tuna) or in a salad. Does anyone have any recipes to change ordinary tuna into something good?  Hot or cold, doesn't matter, just as long as the recipe uses tuna in water.. I'm not too crazy about the tuna in oil.. It's messy. Tks.

I do something similar to what you said.  I use the same tuna in water except I use olive oil and no eggs.  Usually about 2 table spoons will do it but douse it to you liking.  I add in italian seasoning,  Nu-salt or sea salt, a dash or two of cavendars greek seasoning, and lots of black pepper. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste.  I eat it like that on sandwiches or whatever. It's plain and basic. Easy to make and a lot less fat tha mayo and eggs.  But I think you're looking for something less boring.. :)

2 tablespoons of olive oil is 240 calories! thats the amount of calories i want in my entire lunch - not just the filling of my sandwich (plus 100 for the actual tuna, 80 for light bread = 420 cals for a sandwich! i'd rather have wendy's...)  light/reducaed fat mayo is only 100 cals for 2 tablespoon and does the job just fine i think....JMHO

We're talking about tuna only here.   It's a way to make it.     420 calories for one meal leaves me with another 100 to go so a sandwich and some apples perhaps.  It works for me. another way to do it is 1 teaspoon of olive oil and add vinegar to taste.  I like it that way too.
